Costa del Sol 2026 Calendar of Events

We had an amazing time! We booked this hoping we might get the chance to see some dolphins, knowing of course that they are wild animals and sightings aren’t guaranteed. We were incredibly lucky to see lots of dolphins, including two different species.With the first set of dolphins, we even saw a mother and her baby, who came very close to the boat, which was truly remarkable. On the way back, we were amazed to see a pod of around 20–30 dolphins coming towards us. The crew kindly drove towards them so we could get a better look, explaining that this particular species likes to play in the waves alongside the boat — and they certainly did!We were so well looked after and left feeling stunned by the whole experience, with tears in our eyes. We know we were incredibly lucky, but we also did our research to choose a good day to book.Even without seeing dolphins, this is a lovely experience and great value for money. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely experience on the tour. We saw a load of dolphins and the sunset views were breathtaking.

We had a wonderful tour guide, Tanya. She was thoughtful and caring, always had an open ear and good advice. We felt very comfortable during the entire tour. Thank you very much for the help.❤️

Pick up and drop off as planned. Good instructions and info from guide. Would strongly recommend your guides push your added trips more as the ones provided from the Gibraltar side left a lot to be desired. Also a bit more info about accessibility as people were struggling a bit.

We booked the sunset cruise with Jens and Anja and it was truly amazing. Jens skippered us out onto a calm sea, giving us the perfect vantage point to soak in the waterline views as the sun went down — such a peaceful, beautiful experience.And Anja's tapas? Seriously some of the best I've ever had. The whole group agreed they were incredible — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with a lot of care.We're already planning to bring more friends along on this cruise. Muchas gracias, Jens y Anja — you two are a fantastic team!

Great trip! Driver was lovely.

We would like to thank you for your hospitality. It was a marvelous experience! We felt very relaxed on your boat and enjoyed the luxury tapas and drinks Anja prepared. You are so nice people, thank you for the extra attention for the little Fleur 🥰

We had a wonderful day! I had read comments that it was neglected, that there were few animals, and it didn't give me that impression at all. The environment is very nice and the animals are well cared for and happy. It is a cool activity for children and adults. We brought our own food and there are tables to be able to eat calmly. The talks we were at were also very cool.

Three of us decided to go to Ronda and see the sites. We found a website telling us to checkout several places: - Puente Nueva (hundreds of years old - Bullfight arena which was something out of an old movie and was the first such arena in Spain. Tour the interior for $9 Euros and for an additional $2 Euros you can listen to audio narration. - A large park and plaza with amazing views. If you are more ambitious you can walk all the way down and back - The Espírito Santo Church ... an old fortress style church built when the christians first took over. Minimal charge ... maybe $3 Euros ... beautiful - The Arab baths (we missed this as our app was showing us off the road and distances would get shorter and the longer again - Mondragon Palace, Moorish influenced palace Plenty to see and do here ... the Bridge is amazing and can be seen from many different vantage points, each one more beautiful than the last

I've always wanted to take a cooking class in a foreign country and this exceeded my expectations. Maria and Rafael welcomed us into their home and presented a history of Rafael's family farm and the history behind Paella and other foodstuffs from Spain. I quickly fell in love with the Iberian ham and the cheeses (was one Manchego?). I ended up ordering other meals with this wonderful ham during the week. The tapas also included figs and olives from the garden and crackers. while I love figs, I have never been wild about olives but I figured I should try everything and guess what, I loved these! Who knew. The mussels were delicious too. A little story ... Maria has you introduce yourself and I told her I lived in a rural area of Maryland and she said she had friends who lived in a rural area in MD also. As she walked over to pul a ball cap from her hat stand, she said her friends decided to raise goats and then started milking them and making cheeses from the milk. That sounded familiar but I never the ball cap to say Firefly Farms which is in my area. It's a small world. Sangria was served while we ate tapas. Maria made mussels and started on the Paella. Meanwhile, she kept telling stories about the area, about cooking, about her and Rafael. We took a brief break to explore their garden which produced multiple types of tomatoes, etc. It was small but filled with goodies. We returned to the class area and Maria showed us the rest of the steps to make Paella with my niece serving as assistant chef. We learned that you need to keep the pan moving (use your hips) with about a 1/12th turn of the pan every so many minutes at the end. She served the Paella with a delicious Spanish wine (Vineverde), followed by Columbian Coffee and small desserts from a local shop. Everything was great ... Maria and Rafael were great hosts. We decided to ask Maria about places to see in the area as we planned to go to Ronda and Gibraltar. Her eyes lit up when we mentioned Ronda and she told us to travel 15 more minutes to Silente de Bodegas which is a small town of white houses that seem to grow out of the rock sides of a small gorge in the area. We are so grateful to Maria for telling us about Silente as it was one of the highlights of our trip. We also felt the class was a great value given all we learned, the food we ate, etc. We highly recommend her class and will contact her again if make another trip there, in case she has other classes we can attend. What a day!

This was an amazing evening! Even though I was solo, the staff were really attentive. The flamenco dancers were fantastic. I thoroughly recommend a booking, food was great too!!

Excellent show and great value. Intimate restaurant setting with amazing food.

Maria and Rafael were just fabulous hosts! The seafood paella was delicious and we learned techniques that will enable us to make Paella Valenciana (with chicken) and vegetarian paella as well. We had tasty sangria with our appetizers (tapas) with olives, cheese and a selection of curated hams. The other guests were lovely and we spent a lovely afternoon in this Finca!

Fabulous afternoon, delicious food, great hosts we all loved it (party of 7)

What a beautiful sunset, excellent service, I would 100% recommend the service they provide and the great experience

A fantastic afternoon sailing the coast on this beautiful catamaran. Jens and Anja are wonderful hosts, so warm and welcoming. The tapas were delicious and plentiful and a real treat. Throughout the whole afternoon we felt so well looked after and there was plenty of time for swimming and SUP as well as relaxing on the net out front. The whole family had a great time and it was the perfect way to spend the day. Thank you so much!
