Group Holidays with Costa del Sol EVENTS 

Why settle for a simple beach break when you can add adventure, culture, cooking, retail therapy and pampering to the holiday? From Málaga Airport your coach driver will be waiting for you in Arrivals with a personalized sign and will take you to your accommodation. During your stay here in Spain, all your transfers can be organized for you to the activities you have chosen to experience. The following are just some of the more popular options:

W I N E   &   F O O D

Cookery class on the terrace of a private villa overlooking the sea.  Prepare and cook a 3-course Mediterranean meal with everyone participating.  By the time you’ve finished you will really look forward to your lunch.  Served by your host in her lovely garden, you can relax and enjoy this meal you have prepared, together with Spanish red & white wines.  Mint tea and water served throughout / fresh organic seasonal ingredients used in class.

Wine & Food Tasting in (a) a Spanish wine venue in a traditional white village in the mountains with your own English-speaking sommelier and/or (b) in a winery in beautiful, rolling countryside starting with a tour of the vineyard followed by the tasting with local cheese & ham.   Transfer times are (a) 40 minutes from Marbella (b) 1 hour from Marbella.  Both are very enjoyable and educational experiences.

Visit an Olive Oil Mill dating from the 18^th century (1755) in a beautiful white-washed village perched on a high rocky mountain peak in the middle of the Sierra del Pinar national park. The owner will demonstrate how the olives are pressed and you can enjoy a tasting, which is truly delicious - honest!   We came away with bottles of delicious green-coloured olive oils, vinegars and hand creams; the shop sells lots of hygiene products with their own olive oil an ingredient in all. 

Food delivered to your villa or apartment Fancy a Mediterranean meal or buffet e.g. Lebanese, Spanish, Moroccan, French, Italian - delivered to your villa or apartment; a good idea if you are here on holiday. Dishes are meticulously prepared using natural ingredients.  Dinner parties are also catered for and can be themed using Flamenco dancers & musicians or a Spanish guitarist to play background music, and \ or another theme of your choice.  We also deliver cocktail canapés to go with your aperitifs.  A barman can attend to make and serve your drinks if you want a truly relaxing, and stress-free, evening.

Diving  Learn to scuba dive in just one day with PADI’s most popular beginners course.  Dives take place in La Herradura (east of Malaga) and in Tarifa (west of Marbella).  You can be picked up from your hotel or along the A7 in the morning in an air-conditioned coach and provided with light refreshments during the day.  You can complete a PADI course with Simon, who is a PADI Master scuba diver trainer.  Experienced divers are matched with a buddy and go for dives on their own in the morning and afternoon.  Altogether a very pleasant day and a great way to see a lot of the Coast and life underneath the sea.

Luxury Sports Yacht from Puerto Banus down to Sotogrande or Gibraltar or East of Marbella to Cabopino, stopping for a swim, lunch on shore (mooring in the marina), returning back to base via dolphin viewing spots. Drinks (beers and juices) & snacks will be on board - or - a picnic hamper can be prepared with mediterranean dips, meats, salads, breads, chilled wines & more and delivered to your yacht for a special al fresco meal.  Trips to sea normally last about 7 hours if you stop for lunch along the way – however each day out is tailored to what you want.

Shopping for the Girls: shopping with a difference, in a private boutique in beautiful surroundings helped along with a complimentary glass or 3 of cava.  Hunky Dory is amongst the brands available and lots of funky contemporary jewellery from Holland, Sweden, Los Angeles & Vegas.

Electro Lymphatic Drainage; Nutricleanse is a Mother (Judy Dixon) and Daughter (Helen Conway) operation, based in Guadalmina (west of San Pedro).  Judy explained that the thyroid gland controls metabolism and keeps the whole body functioning properly.  If this area is blocked or congested, it stands to reason that the rest of the body can’t function as it should.  Helen and Judy said there are many benefits to having this treatment which you can read about on the girls website, however the benefits which stood out to me were that water retention in ankles and fingers - think swollen ankles after a flight - can be improved through working on your circulation and unblocking whatever is stuck there.  Judy also said that the treatment deals with cellulite and weight problems and also stress, headaches and migraines.  Nutri-cleanse also offers Colonic Irrigation.  See more at http://www.nutri-cleanse.com/about.html
