Many golfers still prefer to walk a golf course rather than whiz around in a buggy.
Here on the Costa del Sol we are fortunate to have a wonderful and varied choice of golf courses to play. Some require a buggy as they are located in and around the hills overlooking the coast, others are walking-friendly and are perfect for those of you who prefer to carry (or pull) your golf bag around 18 holes.
Many of our guests at Sunset Beach Club are keen golfers so we thought we’d put together a quick list of our favourite courses which don’t require a buggy. At the end of the post we’ve embedded a map which shows where each of the courses is located. 🙂 (more…)

During the summer, we introduced our fantastic value lunch menus and the special paella offers, and the feedback from our guests was extremely positive; at 12€ for a 3 course meal, it’s no surprise that these menus were a great success!
As we enter the Autumn and Winter seasons and the days become shorter, many of our guests, especially those from the northern hemisphere, enjoy having an early dinner in our restaurant. So, we’ve just recently introduced a new ‘Early Bird’ menu which is available every day from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. (more…)

Poster for Mijas’ Tourist Day
The Summer Season is almost at an end and the small village of Mijas wants to celebrate in style by organising a large party in honour of the thousands of tourist who have visited them throughout the year; it’s their particular way of saying thank you!
Mijas’ Tourist Day – a celebration which has been going for more than 10 years – will take place next Wednesday 17th September from midday in the town’s ‘Virgen de la Peña’ square. The town hall has prepared lots of fun activities to thank their visitors for their loyalty, including two fantastic flamenco shows by Flamenco Group ‘Jaleo’ and the ‘Zambra’ Spanish Ballet.
All that singing, dancing and music wouldn’t be the same without some tasty thrist quenching wine. And that’s just what the organisers have arranged… lots of free wine will be served to visitors throughout the afternoon!
Are you going to join in the fun at the Mijas Tourist Day?
