James Bond fans, or to be more precise, fans of the music from James Bond films, are in for a real treat this weekend. On Saturday evening (28th May) Trevor Brooks and his team at Entertain in Spain will be presenting their latest production which pays tribute to songs from all the favourite James Bond films.
Entertain in Spain put on two shows last year in our Moonlight Theatre and both were extremely popular: The “Back to the 40’s” show and “The Christmas Show”. This new show will be no exception with its state of the art visual effects and video, as well as some of the Coast’s most talented singers and performers.
The show starts at 8:30pm (we recommend you get there early to get a good seat) Tickets are 15€ for adults and 10€ for children and can be purchased at the Sunset Beach Club Leisure Desk or online at www.entertaininspain.es.

Are you a darts fan? Yes! Well, this weekend, you won’t want to miss the “Radikal Darts” Spanish and European Darts Championships which will be held at the Torrequebrada hotel (just a few minutes walk from Sunset Beach Club).
More than 2000 darts fans will flock to Benalmádena to take part in this unique championship organised by the Spanish Darts Confederation; over 100 of these players will be staying at Sunset Beach Club J Many will be travelling to the Coast to enjoy some sunshine and their favourite hobby, whereas others, will be attracted by the chance to win some cash; there will be a prize pot of 30.000 Euros!
The most curious fact about this tournament is that it involves the use of the “Radikal Darts” dart board; a special electronic dart board which allows players to play and compete over the internet. Thanks to this innovative technology, many of the players taking part in the tournament actually qualified from the comfort of their local puds! The Radikal Darts system allowed for scores to be collected over the internet…technology at its best!
Two watch the Spanish Championship, just head down to the Torrequebrada hotel at 10am on Friday the 20th May; the European Championship starts on Saturday 21st May at the same time.
If you are planning on attending the Darts Championship and need accommodation, we’ve got some great value apartments starting at €63 per night. To book, please visit www.sunsetbeachclub.com .

Sweets and Pastries...yuuuum!
One of this weekend’s highlights will be the Medieval Market which will take place at the Benalmadena Marina.
From tomorrow Friday 13th May – and until Sunday the 15th – tourists and locals who wonder down to Puerto Marina will feel like they have been transported to medieval times as they make their way around the Medieval Market which will be located in the large exhibition tent in the “Pueblo Marinero” area of the Marina.
A walk through the market will allow visitors to see artisans (my favourite are the ones who make sweets and pastries!), exhibition workshops, theatre groups, street performers and dancers, circus acts, jugglers, theatre for children, musical groups, snake charmers…the works!
There’s no doubt that the Medieval Market will provide a fun alternative for all the family this weekend. By the way…it’s free! 🙂
