Santa Claus getting comfortable before giving out the presents!
At 12:00 o’clock on the dot, punctual as ever, Santa Claus made his – much awaited – entrance to the Panorama Bar. The smiles on the kid’s faces said it all and their excitement was evident; probably because of the large bags of presents that Santa and his helpers were carrying! (more…)

The puzzles Sunset Beach Club will be donating
With Christmas creeping up on us, we are reminded that this festive season is a time for giving… At Sunset Beach Club we take pride in collaborating with local charities and helping those in need and this Christmas we have chosen a very special cause…
The Málaga Tourist Board has organised a toy collection campaign amongst its employees, members, collaborators and friends and as Sunset Beach Club is a member, we are happy to take part in this fantastic initiative.
The toys collected will be given to children (aged 1 to 14 years) who are undergoing treatment in the Oncology Ward of the Hospital Materno Infantil inMalaga. All this will be done through AVOI, aMalagabased charity which, thanks to the wide range of activities they organise, makes these children’s stay in hospital a little less traumatic.
The most appropriate toys are all those which are educational in nature such as puzzles, colouring books, books with stickers, soft toys, colouring sets and other similar gifts.
Sunset Beach Club will be donating 51 puzzles and games and many of the staff have brought in toys to contribute to this fantastic cause.
Nobody deserves to be in hospital during the Christmas holidays, much less young children; this is our way of helping bring a smile to their faces during this difficult time.
If you’d like to contribute to the charity by donating toys for the children of the Oncology Ward (it doesn’t have to be anything fancy) you can leave them at the “Patronato de Turismo” offices in Málaga (Plaza del Siglo 2) from Monday to Friday between 8am and 4pm; Thursday the 22nd December is the last day!
The toys will be delivered to the Oncology Ward on Christmas Eve 🙂
If you enjoy Ballet, you’ll be delighted to know that the Cervantes Theatre inMalaga will be showing three performances of “The Nutcracker”.
Performed by the Russian National Theatre Ballet of Moscow, this Christmas classic is sure to be a great success. Inspired on A. Dumas’ adaptation of E.T.A Hoffman’s famous story, The Nutcracker narrates the story of a young girl’s adventures with her only Christmas present; a nutcracker in the shape of a small soldier which comes to life. Together they travel to the magical Sweet kingdom where they are welcomed by the Sugar Fairy, candy sticks and marzipan figures.
Prestigious French choreographer M. Petipa put together the original choreography for this successful ballet; the unforgettable music of Tchaikovsky adds magic to a performance that you surely wont want to miss.
Performances of “The Nutcracker” will be on the following days:
Tickets are priced from €22 and can be purchased at the Cervantes Theatre.
Why not combine a night at the ballet with a romantic weekend getaway at Sunset Beach Club. Apartments available from just €45 per night… Go to www.sunsetbeachclub.com for more information and to check availability.
There’s not long to go now… In just over 2 weeks time, one of the most eagerly awaited events of the Christmas period – at least it will be for kids – starts at the Málaga Convention Centre (Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Málaga): The MIMA 2011 Children’s Fair.
Lasting 8 days, this yearly fair provides fun for all the family with more than 60 activities, attractions, video games, sports activities, workshops, children’s theatre and more!
From the 26th December to the 4th January, the Malaga Exhibition and Convention Centre will become a true wonderland for kids and adults alike. If you are on holiday and the weather isn’t looking to good, this is the perfect place to take the kids for a day out! (more…)
The Views towards Málaga from the top of Benalmadena
Now, I have to admit that I am not fond of heights; actually, I’m terrified of them. So when my wife suggested we take our twin daughters on a cable car ride to the top of Calamorro Mountain behind Benalmádena, you can imagine my reaction!
We always try and make the most of our weekends together and take the girls on little “adventures” and as the weather was gorgeous, I – reluctantly – agreed to give it a go.
Working at Sunset Beach Club, I’ve often spoken to guests and colleagues who raved about their trip up to the top of Benalmádena on the cable car; this was the perfect opportunity to see what all the fuss was about.
The cable car sets off from Tivoli World (it’s actually just beside it). Pricing might seem a little steep, especially if there are 4 of you; however, it’s well worth it! These are the rates: (more…)
