Sailing in Estepona

Filed under: Local Businesses, Local Events & Culture, Sport — Claire @ 6:36 pm

I have recently had to organise a team building event for a friend of mine who was in the Duquesa area for a business meeting. Andalucia and the Costa del Sol have a lot to offer with our miles of coastline, mountain ranges and countryside, so I was at a loss or rather I was confused by the choice on offer and where to begin.

That is when ExperienceBox came to rescue and I don´t regret using the Company for second. Rob, my contact was extremely professional, affable and accommodating and took all the stresses of organising an event from me.

Eventually they chose to do a mini regatta from Estepona sailing club, with a team of 16 having a race in 3 sailing boats along the Estepona shore-line. The day ended with Paella and drinks in the Club Nautico in Estepona. The delegates were all fully insured, photos taken and extremely well looked after by Rob and his team. ExperienceBox organize events from 1 person to huge corporate events so even if you are only looking for a special gift for a loved one, Rob and his team can accommodate you. From Cookery Classes in Andalusia to a day racing cars, learning to apply make up or mixing a cocktail there is something for everybody.

The English Bookshop Sabinillas

Filed under: Local Businesses — Claire @ 1:49 pm

Just before Christmas I wrote about the English Bookshop in Sabinillas as a great local business from which to make your Christmas purchases.

Well, I don’t like to discuss Christmas 2012 already  but Steve now has all of the Christmas stock on sale, so taking into consideration calls for austerity, it may be worth paying Steve a visit and stocking up for Christmas 2012 at a 25% discounted price.

Happy New Year to you all and peace and prosperity in 2012!

Last minute Christmas bits!

Filed under: Local Businesses — Claire @ 9:45 pm

For any last minute Christmas bits and bobs such as Christmas cards, wrapping paper, crackers, gifts or even balloons, don’t forget The English bookshop in Sabinillas.

Steve, the” not so new anymore” owner of the English Book Shop has changed this local business beyond recognition and after much rearranging, the brighter and sleeker version of the bookshop has become an Aladdin’s cave for all local bookworms!!

The children’s section of books has been greatly improved and evoked many memories for me when I set eyes upon such classics as Heidi and The Magic Faraway Tree. Steve even supplies packets of retro candies such as Pear Drops and American Hard Gums for the children or indeed the child in you!

For gifts, there is a fantastic selection of cook books, novels, language books, dictionaries, maps, 2012 diaries, bookmarks and as always the selection of second hand books is vast.

It is fantastic to see enthuiasm and investment in our local town of Sabinillas so support Steve and pay him a visit. The English bookshop in Sabinillas is the place to pick up all of the free local newspapers and you will always pick up useful local information.

Steve’s opening hours are Monday to Friday 9.30 – 14.30 / 16.00 – 19.00 and Saturday 10.00 – 14.00 and is located near to Mercadona in Sabinillas.
