Grandma’s Casserole is Back for a Second Serving

La cazuela de la abuelaFollowing the success of the 1st edition of ‘La Cazuela dela Abuela’ (Grandma’s Casserole) in Fuengirola last year, the town hall has decided to organise ‘Part 2’ of this successful gastronomic initiative.

Originally designed to help promote the town’s excellent selection of restaurants – and to help support the restaurant trade in the quieter off-season – this unique event also helps to introduce visitors to more traditional Spanish dishes and stews.

Due to the great success of last year’s event, Grandma’s Casserole has been extended from 10 days to 17 days (from 15th to 3rd March). Both locals and tourists will have more days to sample the delicious and traditional stews and casseroles which will be available in many of the town’s restaurants. A small casserole and a drink (glass of wine, beer or soft drink) will cost just €2 🙂  (more…)

Christmas in Málaga [Photo Essay]

I love heading in to the centre of Málaga with the family and taking a leisurely stroll around the city’s centre and the new ‘Muelle Uno’ waterfront. Although a little cooler in the winter months, it still makes for a fantastic afternoon out! A few days ago we took a drive in to Málaga to experience the impressive and, now famous, Christmas light display and enjoy a quiet drink on the waterfront.

Here’s a summary of our afternoon… in photos!

Photos of our New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner

New Years Eve Party

Looks like all who saw in the New Year with us here at Sunset Beach Club had a great time! The restaurant team did a great job decorating the Oasis Restaurant for the occasion and ensuring that all guests had a fantastic New Year’s Eve experience; Shout out to the team in the kitchens who prepared some delicious food for the occasion!

This year we were lucky enough to get Ricky Lavazza to provide the entertainment for the evening and, as usual, he didn’t disappoint…Judging by the photos, there was a fair bit of boogieing going on!

Here’s a few photos taken during the celebrations:

A Nativity Scene Made Completely out of Plasticine!

Plasticine Nativity Scene in Malaga

A few days ago one of our colleagues from the commercial department, Inma, visited a unique and somewhat different Christmas nativity scene in Malaga… one made of plasticine!

The cultural department of Malaga’s town hall is exhibiting this nativity scene – created by the Educa Foundation – over the Christmas period. This wonderful 40 square metre exhibition is made up of more than 200 figures made of plasticine. Apparently they needed 35 kilos of plasticine and three months of hard word to put this masterpiece together.

As you can see in the photos, the attention to detail is unbelievable and certainly breaks the molds of the more traditional Nativity scenes! (more…)

Reception tribute to Chicago

The Reception team's tribute to 'Chicago'

Last wednesday the staff at Sunset Beach Club celebrated their Christmas Party.

The theme this year was ‘Las Vegas’ and there were some great fancy dress costumes on parade (see photos below), but perhaps the funniest and most entertaining part of the evening was the talent show. Colleagues from various departments prepared a short show and performed in front of everyone on the stage of the Moonlight Bar; and what a performance… they all did brilliantly… great costumes, great choreography and all round great fun!

The paparazzi were there to take photos throughout the night and below we’ve added the first lot we’ve managed to get our hands on… more to come!

Take a peek and see if you can recognize anyone 🙂
