WEDDINGS IN THE COSTA DEL SOL, SPAIN

2010-01-17T04:47:00.000-08:00

The Costa del Sol ("Sun Coast" or, more literally, "Coast of the Sun") is a region in the south of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, comprising the coastal towns and communities along the Mediterranean coastline of the Málaga province. The Costa del Sol is situated between two lesser known costas: Costa de la Luz and Costa Tropical. Formerly made up only of a series of small, quiet fishing settlements, the region has been completely transformed during the latter part of the 20th century into a tourist destination of world renown.

It includes the city of Málaga,and the towns of Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara, Estepona, Manilva, Vélez-Málaga, Rincon de la Victoria, Nerja, Torrox.

Historically its population lived in the fishing villages, and in the "white" villages a little distance inland, in the mountains running down to the coast. The area was discovered and developed to meet the demands of international tourism in the 1950s and has since been a popular destination for foreign tourists not only for its beaches but also for its local culture. The area is particularly famous for its towns like Marbella, which provides the Costa del Sol with its reputation for being a playground for its super-rich and famous visitors.

The Costa del Sol is a popular tourist region that welcomes millions of people annually, who mostly arrive at Malaga airport and head to one of the many resorts located along this stretch of coastline from Gibraltar in the west to Nerja in the east.

WEDDINGS IN THE TROPICAL COAST, SPAIN

2010-01-17T04:41:00.000-08:00

Costa Tropical is the name for the Mediterranean coastline of the province of Granada, Spain, in the heart of historical Andalusia.

It is also but less frequently called the “Costa de Granada” or "Costa Granadina". Its “spine” is the N-340 coastal highway that runs southwest-northeast along Spain’s Mediterranean coast, to the border with France.

driving in the direction east from Málaga, the Costa Tropical begins soon after passing the last towns in the Málaga province of Nerja and Maro, and begins with the fishing village of La Herradura on the border of the Granada province, and continues until passing the town of Castillo de Baños as you enter the Almería province.

Costa Tropical is made up mostly of agricultural zones and small resort towns and villages. What makes Costa Tropical unique in comparison to the rest of the Spanish coast is the mountains, the Sierra Nevada range among them, that fall to meet the Mediterranean Sea. The effect is dramatic, and the coastline rugged. It is (with northern Costa Brava) one of the most stunning of the entire Spanish Mediterranean coast. It was, until recently, relatively unpopulated in comparison to the rest of the Spanish coast, mostly because of the ruggedness of the terrain. Except for "la vega de Motril", there are no flat areas for large urban sprawl, unlike the Costa del Sol in the Málaga province.

The principal towns of the Costa Tropical are Motril and Almuñécar. Almuñécar is primarily a resort town and agricultural center (tropical fruits), with the summer-time vacation population more than doubling the town’s population. It is a popular destination for Spanish summer holiday makers, and a popular year-round destination for northern European visitors, retirees, and full or part-time residents. On weekends throughout the year, the Costa Tropical has always been a very popular destination for residents of the city of Granada. In the summer, it is a very popular destination for Spaniards throughout the country.

The Costa Tropical is rich with historical treasures, including pre-historic cave paintings in nearby Nerja; many Roman ruins including roads, bridges, buildings, fish salting factories, and irrigation systems used to this day; and abundant remains of the many-centuries domination of the region by the Arab conquerors. In fact, Almuñécar served as the entry point to Iberia and establishment of a power base for Abd ar-Rahman I (also called Abd al-Rahman I and Abderraman I) in 755, who came from Damascus and was the founder of an independent Muslim dynasty that ruled the greater part of Iberia for nearly three centuries thereafter.

LOCATION

2010-01-17T04:31:00.000-08:00

Located in the heart of the Tropical Coast, near Costa del Sol, Almuñecar is one of the most beautiful touristic coastal towns in the Province of Granada.

Its beauty lies not only in its stunning beaches but also in the many monuments left by the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs and Christians as well as all of the cultural and sports activities that take place throughout the year in this millennial city.

Hotel Suites Albayzin del Mar and its tropical gardens set in the Leisure Island declared of “Touristic Interest”, is located only 300 metres from the town centre of Almuñecar whilst at the same time conserving the tranquility of being immersed in the “La Sandovala” Orchards covering over 200.000m2 of Custard Apple trees. It is indeed a privileged area of the Mediterranean Coast.

At only 800 metres from the beach, and not many Kilometres away from the Ski Resort of Sierra Nevada, the Alhambra Palace, the International airport of Malaga and only 20 minutes away from the Golf Club “Los Moriscos” in Motril, it is the ideal venue for any kind of professional celebration.

WEDDINGS IN GRANADA, SPAIN

2010-01-16T04:38:00.000-08:00

The city of Granada is placed at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, at the confluence of three rivers, Beiro, Darro and Genil, at an elevation of 738 metres above sea level yet only one hour from the Mediterrean coast, the Costa Tropical.

The Alhambra, a Moorish citadel and palace, is in Granada. It is one of the most famous items of the Islamic historical legacy that makes Granada a hot spot among cultural and tourist cities in Spain. The Almohad urbanism with some fine examples of Moorish and Morisco constructions is preserved at the part of the city called the Albaicín.

WHAT TO VISIT IN GRANADA

The Realejo

Realejo was the Jewish district at the time of the Nasride Granada. The Jewish population was so important, that Granada was known from the Al-Andalûs Country under the name of Granada de los judios (in Arabic, Garnata Al Yahood). It is today a district made up of many Andalusian villas, with gardens opening onto the streets, called Los Carmenes.

The Cartuja

This district contains the Carthusian monastery of the same name: Cartuja. This is an old monastery started in a late Gothic style with Baroque exuberant interior decorations. In this district also, many buildings were created with the extension of the University of Granada.

Bib-Rambla

The toponym existed at the time of the Arabs. Nowadays, Bib-Rambla is a high point for gastronomy, especially in its terraces of restaurants, open on beautiful days. The Arab bazaar (Alcaicería) is made up of several narrow streets, which start from this place and continue as far as the cathedral.

The Sacromonte

The Sacromonte neighborhood is located on the extension of the hill of Albaicín, along the Darro River. This area, which became famous by the nineteenth century for its predominantly Gitano inhabitants, is characterized by cave houses, which are dug into the hillside. The area has a reputation as a major center of flamenco song and dance, including the Zambra Gitana, Andalusian dance originating in the Middle East. The zone is a protected cultural environment under the auspices of the Centro de Interpretación del Sacromonte, a cultural center dedicated to the preservation of Gitano cultural forms.

The Albayzín

Albayzín (also written as Albaicín), located on a hill on the right bank of the river Darro, is the ancient Moorish quarter of the city and transports the visitor to a unique world: the site of the ancient city of Elvira, so-called before the Zirid Moors renamed it Granada. It housed the artists who went up to build the palaces of Alhambra on the hill facing it. Time allowed its embellishment. Of particular note is the Plaza de San Nicolas (Plaza of St Nicholas) from where a stunning view of the Alhambra can be seen.

The Zaidin

This blue collar neighborhood houses 100,000 residents of Granada, making it the largest neighborhood or 'barrio'. Traditionally populated by gypsies, now many residents are from North and West Africa, China, and many South American countries. Every Saturday morning it hosts a large outdoor market or "mercadillo", where many gypsies come and sell their wares of fruits and vegetables, clothes and shoes, and other sorts of odds and ends.

THE WEATHER IN ALMUÑÉCAR, COSTA TROPICAL, SPAIN

2010-01-16T04:35:00.000-08:00

El Tiempo en Almuñécar

As one approaches the Costa Tropical from either Almería to the east or Málaga to the west, one will notice that the area looks less dry and more lush that the surrounding areas.

This is because the Sierra Nevada mountain range that serves as a backdrop to the Costa Tropical catches more rain and thus supplies the area with abundant irrigation. This same mountain backdrop provides a good shelter from northerlies and creates a pleasing “micro-climate” of very mild winters and mild summers compared to the interior of Spain, with temperature differences of 10 degrees Celsius relative to the area on the other side of the mountains – so it could be 38 degrees Celsius on a summer day in the city of Granada and only 28 degrees Celsius on the Costa Tropical. In the winter, it can be snowing in Granada and 10 degrees Celsius on the Costa Tropical.

WEDDING MENU

2009-03-30T09:48:00.000-07:00

When looking for the perfect spot to have your Spanish Wedding it has to tick the right boxes with you and when it comes to making the difference so many people underestimate just how much the food can sway the balance at an event. Food can make the difference from just ok to absolutely amazing!

Unless you can draw directly from you memory, imagine this: the day finally arrives and the venue looks fantastic, eveything is in place and running smoothly, the guests arrive for the cocktail reception and little bits of coloured cardboard and other unidentifiable objects begin to sail past you looking like they have been doing the same circuit for at least a couple of hours. No one seems to know what any of it is but you are feeling peckish and decide to be brave. Just in case you drink some more wine to kill anything nasty that you may have ingested and proceed to the banquet with a feeling of apprehension in your stomach, unsure whether it was caused by the last canapé or the fear of what else is to come out of the kitchen.

You sit down to eat and out rolls the predictable mass produced cold cut starter, fish and meat maincourses smothered in sauces with different names but the same flavour accompanied by overstewed vegetables. You find some respite in the lemon and champagne sorbet that divides the fish and meat dish but alas it is short lived, your champagne flute is whisked away before you even get a chance to make loud noises with the straw. To finish you off, sorry I meant to finish off, you are served a slab of rather boring wedding cake. Noooooo!!

Think that I am making it up? If only...

Here at Albayzin del Mar we are passionate about making a difference, this spreads throughout the entire event and the food is most definitely not an exception. All our dishes have been created by our International Executive Chef and you couldn´t be in safer hands. Hailed from early on in his career as someone who would reach great culinary heights, he has more than lived up to expectations having worked all over the world in some of the most distinguished places accumulating precious experience and awards along the way.

We are proud to be able to offer guests the benefit of his expertise and encouraged him to create a selection of delicious Canapés, Fish dishes, Meat dishes and yummy desserts for you to choose from.

The wedding banquet is tailor made to suit your needs. It can be as short or as long as you want and we love to hear your thoughts. If there are vegetarians or guests with food allergies we can cater especially for them and have also elaborated special menus for the little ones.
Your guests can be greeted with an aperitif reception by the fountains, with staff serving stunning canapés that delight all five senses and cater for everyones tastes. The banquet can be held outside in the private tropical gardens to make the most of the balmy subtropical climate. If the weather refuses to collaborate (a rare occurence indeed) there is no need to worry, we always take into account numbers and weather factors and make sure there is an alternative space for the party should the need arise.

TRADITIONAL SPANISH WEDDING IN HOTEL SUITES ALBAYZÍN DEL MAR

2009-03-27T04:51:00.000-07:00

Whilst investigating everything weddings on internet I came across an article written by an English journalist who attended a Spanish wedding. Their account of how they perceived the customs and habits of the hosts amused me and made me realize that seen from the outside some of it can seem “different”. Lots of articles coverdestination weddings in Spain and all the benefits of choosing this sunny country, yet hardly any talk about its own traditions. I thought it would be interesting to talk about the typical Spanish weddings of old, Granada style. Some of the customs still hold true today, some don´t and they all vary from town to town. So let´s start at the very beginning, well nearly…

Traditionally couples would be engaged for many years whilst they saved up for a home of their own. This was done so that after the wedding they had everything they needed to start their life together. It is not uncommon for offspring to live with their parents well into adult life and by that I mean late 30´s and on! Maybe this is because the family unit is very important in Spain, maybe because it is the easiest option but in some smaller villages the only way out of the family home was by marriage (it wasn´t unusual for the girl to become pregnant resulting in a “shotgun wedding” and stern catholic upbringing meant that divorce was out of the question). Once they had everything they needed to start a family of their own they would set the date and the families of the bride and groom would put together the guest list.

When the big day arrived, all of the guests would get seriously dressed up regardless of the time of day, it was an opportunity to show off all their finery. They would either go to the church to wait for the bride and groom or they would go to the house of the family who had invited them and accompany them to the church. In Spain they do not have the custom of a best man and the groom enters the church with his mother followed by guests. Traditionally the groom’s guests sit behind him to the right of the church and the bride's guests are seated on the left. The bride leaves her house on her father´s arm followed by her guests and they walk to the church in a procession, the guests enter first and are seated then the bride makes her entrance. It is not uncommon for guests to remain outside the church during the ceremony and once it is over they are joined by everybody else, ready to throw copious amounts of rice “missile style” at the couple! Lots of kissing goes on as each guest wishes the couple all the best for their future as they battle through the crowd to the rice free safety of their car.

Traditionally the banquet was set for a later hour giving guests time to drive around in a procession loudly sounding out their horns and waving at all and sundry letting everyone know that there had been a wedding and keeping them occupied. In the meantime the couple would be having their wedding photos taken and not a drink would be served until they arrived at the banquet, at which point everyone would raise a glass to toast their future happiness and health. Nowadays most couples have made provisions for their guests and they can relax in the surroundings of the venue whilst enjoying drinks and canapés until the celebrations start.

A traditional Spanish banquet will begin with cold cuts and snacks whilst everyone gets settled. The meal itself consists of a starter, a fish dish, a refreshing champagne sorbet, a meat dish and a dessert. The cake would be cut a little later and the bride and groom would take this time to go around the tables and chat with each of their guests.

It is tradition to give an envelope with money to the bride and groom unless they have specifically stated otherwise. The amount should never be less than the price of a cover and although it is not unheard of for an empty envelope to appear, it is extremely bad practice and very rude.

After the cake the bride and her bridesmaids hand out a little gift to the ladies, usually a delicate pin with an ornate material flower which by custom is to be worn upside down if you are single (if the pin gets lost it means that you will be married soon). The groom usually hands out cigars to the male guests with the date of their wedding on the label.

Then comes the music. They do not have the custom of a disco playing all their favourite tracks, instead it is usually a live band and once father and daughter have taken to the dance floor and enjoyed their first dance it is time for everyone to join in the dancing, make their way to the free bar or make their way home.

Customarily the Honeymoon didn´t start straight away, but in the following week or so, giving them time to settle into their new home.

And that is more or less a traditional Spanish wedding. As I began writing I realized that there were so many details I could explain to help people understand this beautiful culture better but some things are just best left for you to discover on your own, otherwise where would the magic be?

Another method of getting more money which I have only ever seen in the small rural villages, would involve the groom taking a pair of scissors to his tie and auctioning off the pieces which would be placed on a tray and shown to all the guests as they haggled, the Bride would also auction her garter and the money would go towards their honeymoon and the expenses of the wedding.

But the couple´s long day’s not over yet, oh no! Tradition dictates that close friends of the newlyweds enter the future home without their knowledge and prepare practical jokes such as hiding things in the bed sheets, filling it with balloons, hanging banners announcing the marriage off the balcony and lots more. It is with great apprehension that they go home on their first night as husband and wife!
