The ‘Arcos de Buenos Aires’ Company will be performing their highly acclaimed ‘Reina de la Plata’ Show in the Moonlight Theatre at Sunset Beach Club this coming Saturday the 11th May 2012.
This is now the fourth time this talented group of musicians and tango dancers have performed at Sunset Beach Club and judging by the popularity of previous editions, we are expecting tickets to sell out quickly.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the format of the ‘Arcos de Buenos Aires’ Shows, we’ll quickly explain: The company is led by prestigious conductor and composer Walter O. Tejada Carranza and is made up of 16 artists. Throughout the evening, spectators will be treated to some of the most amazing and traditional tango dancing routines coupled with the beautiful music of a string chamber orchestra. It really is a fabulous combination and well worth witnessing for yourselves!
Tickets are just €10 and can be purchased at the Leisure Desk located on the 6th Floor of Sunset Beach Club or at the entrance of the Moonlight Theatre on the night of the show.
The show starts at 9.00pm on Saturday 11th May 2013.
Hope to see you there!

Feeding the ducks in Paloma Park
Paloma Park is one of Benalmadena’s most popular attractions – for locals and tourists alike.
Famous for its large lake, extensive gardens (including one consisting of cactus trees) and its diverse collection of animals, many of which roam freely through its grounds, Paloma Parkis a must-visit for all visitors to Benalmadena.
Those of you who have visited the park recently may have noticed that it was starting to look a little run down and in need of a little TLC. Thankfully, this iconic landmark is now set to receive a major face lift thanks to a special state fund of €200,000.
The improvement works began last Friday and will include the following:
- Replacement of the main lake’s ‘feeder’ waterways
- New Signage
- New Street Lamps
- New park benches
- Installation of a new eco-friendly irrigation system that uses recycled water
The work is set to last several months but once finished will restore Paloma Park’s reputation as one of the Costa del Sol’s most beautiful public parks.

Screenshots of the Wedpics app
Wedding photos come in all shapes and sizes. You’ve got the masterpieces created by the official wedding photographer Elizabeth M and then there are the hundreds of photos taken by all the guests who attend.
Many couples use the traditional method of placing disposable cameras on all the tables in an attempt to encourage their guests to capture all those special moments. Unfortunately, this isn’t always a great alternative; it can be expensive if you have a big wedding, the analog quality of these photos is often disappointing and then you have to try and collect all the cameras and find a way of sharing all the photos with your guests!
And what about all the photos taken by guests with their own digital cameras or latest smartphone? How on earth do you collect all these photos into one place? Some will email them to you, others will send you a CD, there’s Facebook, Instagram and numerous photos sharing websites with complicated login procedures… Not a fun task! (more…)
