Day Trip to Huelva

It’s quite a drive, but most certainly worth it. Right on the western tip of Andalucia, 25 miles, or so, from the Portuguese border, Huelva is a relatively small city – easily explorable in a day.  We found it a little tricky …

Christmas and New Year on the Costa del Sol!

If you’re looking to escape the cold and rain this Christmas or New Year, La Orquidea is the perfect place! Winter on the Costa del Sol is nowhere near as hot as the summer, but still a lot better than …

Calahonda Beach to La Cala

The beaches of the Costa del Sol, from Calahonda to La Cala de Mijas. Great beaches, sun, sea and cocktails from one of the chiringuitos. Extra safe, too – let the kids play with confidence.

Sun, Sea and Sangria!

According to Josh Layton in The Guardian, Britons are still, very much, in love with Spain!

The Beaches of San Pedro

Beerfest, Fuengirola!

The Paulaner Beerfest is held in Fuengirola, at the beginning of August. Held in the historic Fuengirola Castle (el Castillo de Sohail), the Beerfest is a great night out in spectacular surroundings. Germany and all things Germanic are the theme, as you …

Visiting the Alhambra

If you haven’t visit the incredible Alhambra in Granada, we seriously recommend it to you and anyone visiting La Orquidea Holiday Resort. You won’t forget it, that much is certain.

Day Trip to Córdoba

Visit historic Córdoba, a great day out, just a couple of hours from the holiday resort. The ancient Grand Mosque is not to be missed.

Mid July at La Orquidea

It’s a warm night and the moon is casting a giant sheen on to the Med.  Mick the Mandolin (I think) is whacking out a credible rendition of Tequila, the Daniel Flores’ classic. It’s been a hot day, as well.  It peaked …

Golf Days in the Bar

As far as I know, there are no concrete plans yet, but Les is organising a weekly golf day down at La Siesta Golf Club.  It’s 18 holes, that I can tell you, but little else. Get in touch if …
