On Thursday, May 10th we were invited to the 1st Marbella Excellence Experience Event organised by Drumelia and associated luxury brands and hosted at a magnificent contemporary villa in La Zagaleta. It was a glamorous event in classic Marbella style – clear blue skies framing views of the green estate that falls away towards the Mediterranean in the distance. Guests arrived at the...

During one of my weekly travels, I was lucky enough to come across an ancient city carefully preserved in the heart of the stony mountains of Andalucía called Ronda. The town finds itself bordered on its west side by tall peaks, which offer visitors some unique sights of Andalusian nature, while on the east side it is enclosed by the old defence walls of the city that date back...

Valentine’s Day is a special time to celebrate love, romance and friendship. Many people celebrate this day by showing appreciation for the people they love or adore, giving typical gifts like greeting cards, chocolates or roses… So why not ditch the flowers and instead opt for an alternative gift for this romantic day? Picking non-traditional gifts will surely surprise your...

On the 15th December we are co-hosting a big Christmas event that we’re calling The Mad Hatters Festive Tea Party in aid of David Toms, which will be held at The Terrace with Lou Lou Jane in Benavista, Estepona. David is a fantastic photographer, client and friend who had a terrible motorbike accident last year in July. The event runs from 16:00 to 19:00hrs with all proceeds...

It may feel strange for us Northern Europeans – how can it possibly be nearly Christmas in Marbella when we’re by the beach and it’s 20° in the sunshine?! However, it is definitely around the corner and we are getting quietly excited! One sure sign that Santa is doing his last minute Black Friday panic buying and will be here shortly – this evening Málaga switches on their...

For the past few years I have had the privilege of being invited to Frankfurt on an annual basis by one of our clients. Though part of the information discussed in their impressive high-rise offices is of a procedural nature, there is usually also a macro-economic and stock market update, as well as case studies involving individual companies that make the trip very informative and...

Tired of the same-old-same-old? Bored of bars? How about trying something new? Paint and Sip is not a new concept, indeed in the States and Canada there are approximately 1,000 Paint and Sip groups. The idea is that like-minded people get together to paint and sip wine, a winning combination! However the brainwave of ‘The Art Club’ in San Pedro, is to take a painting,...

This year on the 7th October, the Streets of Marbella will be changed to a bright luminous trail of people wearing bright items for the CADI Charity. This 4th edition of the Neon Night will take place in many different areas like Madrid, Cadiz, Sevilla and also here in Marbella. The goal of this event is to raise money for the CADI Charity. If you want to participate in the walk...

The mountainous country may seem very far and exotic situated in the Caucasus Mountain, but in reality Georgia and southern Spain have more in common than you’d think. Both share a combination of a beautiful shoreline, warm sunny beaches and gorgeous mountain scenery, though in the case of the Black Sea country the mountains rise even more steeply from out of the sea to produce a...

If there is a small place in heaven that smells like old books, ground coffee and freshly baked croissants it could well be just like Café con Libros in the heart of Málaga. It’s the kind of place you admire everyday as you walk past, with intentions of someday trying it out but never actually stepping through the door because it just looks a little too cool for its own good. Turns...
