This Sunday the 22nd January it’s World Snow Day, an event which is being celebrated for the first time in ski resorts all over the world!
World Snow Day is the second phase of a project initiated by the FIS in 2007 called “Bring Children to the Snow”; the concept is self explanatory… In this phase – the biggest day on snow – simultaneous activities will occur all around the world on the 22nd January and will be repeated yearly in the 3rd week of January.
This unique initiative is designed to encourage families, and in particular, those with children to begin enjoying the snow. The idea is for children to try and experiment all types of snow related activities and sports. Obviously, people of all ages are encouraged to join in the fun and continue to enjoy the wonders of snow for years to come! (more…)

I know, I know, you’re just recovering from New Year’s celebrations and here I am enticing you to celebrate again; this time, for Chinese New Year!
The Costa del Sol Racecourse will be hosting a special Chinese New Year celebration this coming Sunday the 15th January 2012. Starting at 4pm – which is 11pm inChina – the event is open to all residents and visitors to theCosta del Sol and is absolutely free J
All those who attend will be treated to performances by local dance groups as well as a special performance by well known Chinese dance group Jin Fan; made up of 25 dancers, this group of entertainers will be flown in from Beijing specially for the event which is financed by the Chinese government.
The Chinese New Year celebrations at the Costa del Sol racecourse are also sponsored by the Chinese Association in Andalucía and the Association of the Qingtián Community in the South of Spain.
Those of you who are a little more knowledgeable about Chinese culture might have realised that these celebrations are actually a week early as the Year of the Dragon actually starts on the 22nd January! The reason for this is that the Jin Fan group hired for the event has to be back in China on that date…
Anyway, could be an interesting event to attend; something a little different for all those of you visiting the Costa del Sol, or indeed, those of you living here 😉
Let us know how you get on!
