Do you love taking photosat any moment or on the other hand you only take lots of pictures while you are on holiday?Whichever is the case, if you like photography you will surely enjoy the free exhibition that right now is on display at Casa de la Cultura in Fuengirola.

This exhibition is called “3 out of 3, 30 years of photography”, it will be open till next Wednesday the 28th of January and it is composed of pictures taken by 8 former students of the photography course organised by the City Council.

This course in fact is one of the most popular of all courses in town. The reason might be there aren’t many places where you can take photos as beautiful as the ones you can take in Fuengirola. This is possibly due to the great sun and light we have in here… Don’t you think so?

In the exhibition there are around 60 photos and this is the third which is housed in Casa del Cultura to commemorate the 30th anniversary of this emblematic local building.

Well, if you don’t have plans for the next few days, why don’t you visit our town centre and take a look at this fantastic showing? We are sure that these amazing photos will give you great ideas and will motivate you to continue immortalising your life and holidays in pictures!

Friendliness and good sense of humour is, in general, something very characteristic of Malaga locals. This good sense of humour is present in many of the words we use in our everyday life and also in the funny names we use to name certain things.

These cakes we want to introduce you today are a good example of this as they have an incredibly funny name.

If you have participated in the Spanish culture activity organised by Hotel Yaramar every Thursday you might already know that these cakes are called “tortas locas” which literally means “crazy cakes”, something that is quite surprising as there is nothing wrong with them and in fact they look delicious.

These “crazy cakes” are very typical from Malaga so why do you think we use the adjective “locas” to describe them? We don’t really know why, but we think they are so delicious that when you try them you get crazily in love with them!

These cakes consist of two round pieces of puff pastry with some custard cream in the middle and egg yolk icing on top. The red thing that can also be seen on top is a little piece of candied cherry… Just thinking about them is mouth watering!

If you are currently on holiday at otel Yaramar, your hotel in FuengirolaH, and you would like to try them just know that they are quite easy to find in most bakeries and coffee shops on Costa del Sol.

Give them a go and enjoy one of our most typical cakes!

Are you currently having a great holiday at Hotel Yaramar and you would like to make the most of our great weather by being outdoors exploring our area?

If this is the kind of holiday you are after and you also like trying local products we are sure you are going to like this week’s recommendation.

Our recommendation is visiting Mijas to enjoy its fantastic handcraft market.

The handcraft market is on Wednesdays from 10:00 A.M to 2:00 P.M. in Plaza Virgen de la Peña, right in the centre of Mijas.

There you can purchase handmade items like jewellery, accessories, soap, cheese, marmalades and jams as well as traditional sweets from our region.

As it is an outdoor market, this is on weather permitting.

Getting from our hotel to Mijas Pueblo is very easy and affordable, as the bus to Mijas can be taken in Fuengirola bus station.

If you would like to visit one of the most stunning towns in Costa del Sol and do some good shopping, Wednesdays are certainly the perfect days to do it!

Have fun in Mijas Pueblo!

Au printemps, comme chaque année, arrive la Semaine Sainte, l'une des dates les plus importantes sur la Costa del Sol.

Malgré le fait d'être une zone touristique visitée et habitée par des personnes du monde entier à la recherche de beau temps et de soleil, la Costa del Sol conserve ses traditions intactes.

Étant donné que l'Espagne est un pays catholique, ici les œufs en chocolat ou les lapins de Pâques ne sont pas des traditions, les protagonistes de la Semaine Sainte sont les belles processions et les délicieuses torrijas.

Les processions sont très importantes aussi bien à Málaga qu'ailleurs dans les autres localités de la province.

Les processions de Málaga font partie des plus spectaculaires d'Andalousie. L'attente est énorme et elles sont très fréquentées, mais cela vaut vraiment la peine d'y assister, car c'est un spectacle à voir absolument. Donc, si vous avez la chance d'être logé à l'Hôtel Yaramar en ce moment, nous vous recommandons de visiter Málaga et de voir les magnifiques trônes de vos propres yeux.

Comme nous l'avons mentionné précédemment, il existe une ligne de train efficace qui relie Málaga et Fuengirola, donc visiter la ville n'est pas seulement économique mais aussi confortable. De plus, pendant la Semaine Sainte, pour faciliter encore plus votre visite, les horaires des trains ont été étendus, assurant ainsi la connexion entre les deux villes pendant la nuit.

Si, en revanche, vous préférez rester à Fuengirola, que ce soit dans le centre-ville ou à Los Boliches, vous pourrez également profiter de belles processions.

De là, nous vous encourageons à découvrir la Semaine Sainte andalouse, à apprécier les tronos, à prendre des photos impressionnantes à montrer à vos amis et à déguster les délicieuses torrijas, une confiserie très typique de cette période de l'année... Mmm, qu'elles sont bonnes!

Vivez la Semaine Sainte à l'Hôtel Yaramar et partagez vos impressions avec nous!

Earlier this year here on the blog of Hotel Yaramar we shared with you some interesting facts about Spain and Andalusia and among them we included one about Malaga Airport.

On that post we said that the IATA code of our airport is “AGP” which is quite unusual as this code tends to be related to the name of the city.

In our opinion airports are fascinating places as they receive millions of people from around the world every year. They are also very important to the industry of tourism so we consider ourselves very fortunate for having such a fantastic airport so close.

For all these reasons and because we love flying this week we would like to share with you some more interesting facts about Malaga airport:

• If we consider air traffic volume Malaga Airport is 4th in the rank of Spanish airports.


• It is the main entrance of tourists who come to visit Costa del Sol or other parts of Andalusia. 85% of people who visit Andalusia land in Malaga.


• More than 60 airlines operate in this airport. They connect Malaga with other Spanish and European destinations, as well as more distant places such as the Middle East or North America.


• In 2011 its name got changed from “Malaga Airport” to “Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport”. Due to this fact a proposal regarding a change of its IATA code was submitted. If agreed the new code will be “SOL” instead of “AGP”.


• Terminal 1 is the oldest. This was the one which received the massive amount of tourists who came to Costa del Sol in the 60s due to the tourism boom. Nowadays is the least used terminal.


• Terminal 2 is from the early 90s, it was designed by the famous Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill and it is named after the most famous artist from Malaga of all times: Pablo Ruiz Picasso.


• Due to the massive volume of air traffic a new terminal got built. This is terminal 3 and it was inaugurated in 2010 by the then King and Queen of Spain. Apart from the terminal also a new runway was created. This has improved air traffic considerably.


• After getting bigger Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport has received more than 35 million passengers per year!… Very impressive!!

Is Malaga among your possible summer holiday destinations? Have you planned to come soon to Hotel Yaramar, your hotel in Fuengirola, to be one of the many passengers who land in Malaga with a smile on their faces?

We hope you do as we are definitely ready to give you the warm welcoming you all deserve!

Last week here on the blog of Hotel Yaramar we published a post about one of the most popular dishes of our local gastronomy.

Today this blog is again about “good food” as we would like to recommend you a visit to a fantastic gourmet market.

This gourmet market is called Mercado de la Merced and it is located very close to Plaza de la Merced, the famous square where Picasso was born 134 years ago.

Mercado de la Merced is new but at the same time old as not till long it was a tradicional market with a few stalls where people from the neighbourhood did their shopping. Nowadays after a massive makeover it has become a fantastic gourmet market where people can do their shopping and also have a fantastic time having all kind of tapas with friends.

Now it looks trendy, cosmopolitan and fun. It is a busy and lively place in a great location that not only supports modern and traditional cuisine but also art as since it opened on the 29th of September it has housed some fantastic exhibitions. The first to arrive was the fantastic collection of jackets from Spanish celebrity chef Alberto Chicote which was followed by an exhibition called “The Streght of Art”.

If right now you are staying with us at Hotel Yaramar, your hotel in Fuengirola, you had planned to visit Malaga and you are a foodie we recommend you to visit Mercado de la Merced to try the best of modern Spanish cuisine.

We are sure this experience will be one of the best of your holiday!

The films that have been selected by voters are the following:

Every week at the Hotel Yaramar, we organize the wonderful photography contest “Sunrises at Yaramar”.

This entertaining activity involves trying to capture the best photograph of the sunrise from Hotel Yaramar, and anyone who is on vacation with us at that time can participate.

Our jury, composed of hotel staff, is responsible for deciding who the weekly winner is, and watch out because... there's a prize! The person who submits the most beautiful or ingenious snapshot can win a bottle of champagne or an afternoon tea at the hotel's snack bar.

Good luck and many thanks to all of you who send us your sunrises every week!

This week here on the blog of Hotel Yaramar, your hotel in Fuengirola, we would like to suggest you a fantastic outdoor plan as in spring good weather is almost always guaranteed.

We are aware that most of you really appreciate the sun and the sea, so for this reason we think that you would surely love to walk through the coastal path that is currently being finished.

The coastal path is a pathway that will connect the 111 miles of coastline from Nerja to Manilva.

Right now it is 75% walkable, so it won’t take too long for it to be totally completed.

If right now you are on holiday with us at Hotel Yaramar and you fancy making the most of this new tourist attraction we recommend you to do the 3.7 mile long section that links La Cala de Mijas with Calahonda.

This section is one of the most beautiful as the wooden walkway goes parallel to the coast. It has several direct accesses to the beach, and it is ideal for pedestrians and ciclists as it is quite an easy route to do.

The coastal path combines environment, sport and tourism, so if you enjoy going rambling and discovering beautiful locations when on holiday, you are going to love it!

Keeping fit in such a beautiful setting is much less hard!
