A day at the races in Mijas

Victoria Morgan — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 10:57:25 +0000

The summer race season has started in the Costa del Sol Hippodrome in Mijas. The first race took place on the 3rd of July and there is a whole month to follow if you missed the first one!

The Costa del Sol Hippodrome is located in “Mijas Costa“, Málaga, and was inaugurated in the year 2000. It is the biggest hippodrome in Andalucia, alongside with the one in Dos Hermanas, Seville, boasting two sand tracks that measure 1700 and 1600 meters long and 25 meters wide each. Facilities include 320 boxes for racing horses and two jumping tracks. The hippodrome also offers an athletics track and a football field situated in the centre of the equestrian ring and the stands have capacity for up to 1500 people.

If you´re looking for a day at the races then you are still in time, the next races will take place on July the 10th, 17th, 24th and 30th. The last opportunity you will have this summer to watch these fascinating animals in all their speed is Friday the 6th of August. For more information visit the hippodrome website.

What a better way to enjoy the horses than combined with the “horses” we can offer you at Sixt Marbella?

Drive like never before behind the wheel of one of the extraordinary cars we offer you exclusively here at Sixt Marbella.
Your decision will be hard when you have to choose between cars with over 200 horse power that cars like the BMW 7 Series or the Mercedes Benz S Class offer you. If you fancy something even more exciting take a look at our Mercedes Benz E Class Cabrio or our luxurious Porsche 911 Carrera which offer over 300 horsepower. You will float up to heaven and back down again as soon as you accelerate with our Porsche Panamera Turbo and feel it´s 502 “horses“ as they start galloping or the 511 you can feel with our very recently acquired Jaguar XKR.

The summer scent has arrived at Marbella

Victoria Morgan — Tue, 11 May 2010 16:01:14 +0000

The summer has finally arrived and Sixt Marbella is on hand to help you to enjoy the wide variety of things to do.
Marbella, the aristocrat of the Costa del Sol, is 55 kms west of Málaga and 50 km from Málaga airport, therefore, easy access is granted with your Sixt rent a car!

The wide variety of places to visit and things to do includes a 27 kms long coastline of beautiful beaches. Recommended ones like La Bajadilla at glamorous Puerto Banús or Funny Beach offer all sorts of watersports, beach bars, inflatable rides, etc… Naturist dune beach Cabopino is also available to sun yourself all around! Our ideal climate (rarely falls under 20° and goes well over 30° in mid-summer) and Mediterranean water allows you to enjoy the most beautiful beach days!

If you prefer, you can enjoy a family adventure in the very heart of nature while visiting Selwo Aventura, a unique African-themed park where more than 2000 animals live in practically natural conditions. You will also be able to share adventure activities like the great tyrolean, dromedary rides or archery.

Maybe you would prefer a less-stressful day strolling down the streets of the Old Town, taking in the whitewashed houses and the narrow alleyways decorated with blooming flowers. Relax while sat at the Plaza de los Naranjos for a bite to eat breathing in the aroma from the Orange flowers. Or maybe you would rather breathe in the salty sea scent you can capture at Puerto Banús while admiring some of the most beautiful and expensive private yachts mooring with the fishes, or well known shops like Prada or Chanel.

After a “hard day” sorrounded by yachts, dress up and get ready to live Marbella´s well known Night Life at some of the best outings of the area. Recommended for deep pockets are glamourous Nikki Beach Club, Ocean Club or Tibu. And if you´re in for a view of the high society don´t miss the Olivia Valere discoteque.

Many events are taking place during the summer in Marbella, one of the most important ones is on the 11th of June, it´s San Bernabé. The day conmemorates the conquer of the Catholic Kings, and is celebrated with a whole week of “fiesta”, known as “Feria de Marbella” (from June the 7th until June the 13th), where you can enjoy the atmosphere in the centre during the day,with a taste of spanish food and drink, watching the typical sevillanas or even trying to dance them yourself. At night visit the Fair Ground for a ride on the Big Wheel and dance until you drop in the “casetas”. The Feria also includes concerts and bull-fights, hopefully we will be able to give you a closer look into what´s going on nearer the date.

Whatever your dream plan is, Sixt Marbella will assure you a hassle-free vacation, forget about taxis and buses. You can also check-out our new Luxury Car Fleet incl. Porsch, Range Rover and Jaguars etc. so that your Dream Plan is 100% complete!!!!

Tarifa – A unique experience at the bottom of Europe

Sixt rent a car News — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:06:03 +0000

The road leading to the beach and car park at Tarifa

As you pass through the wrought Iron gate called ‘Valdevaqueros’ the road twists and turns its way into another world; the world of the Surfer. Tarifa is a hot spot for kite surfers in particular, with some enthusiasts considering it to be the best destination in Europe for the sport.

At the end of the twists and turns of the meandering road you’ll see sand dunes and a small parking area. In a secluded area, sheltered away from the wind, is the main car park where the vehicles are well protected from all the sand blowing in the air.

The conditions for surfing and kiting are perfect almost throughout the year and from the waters edge you can watch surfers and kite surfers riding the waves and taking to the air with the tricks and jumps.

For surfers, there is an enormous choice of different beaches, whether you’re a beginner or advanced pro, summer through to winter, there is something for everyone.

Tarifa became the European ’surfer capital’ due to two winds which meet here, the levante and the poniente, keeping conditions ideal almost throughout the year. With the wind blowing through the straits of Gibraltar works like a gigantic funnel, accelerating the wind around the coastline improving the surf and kiting conditions.

Kitesurfers enjoying the conditions at Tarifa

Tarifa and the surrounding beaches are regarded to be at the top of the list for surfing locations within Europe and hardly a day goes past without winds of a strength of force 4.

Although Tarifa is considered to be the ‘capital’, there are other places in Spain which come up in conversation between surfers in the surfing community such as Almeria, in the southeast.

For those interested in kite surfing, the British Kite Surfing Assocation has an extensive list of clubs, events and training schools for you to attend and give the sport a try.

Sixt have a strong presence throughout the south of Spain including branches in Estepona, Marbella and Malaga.

Learning languages key to ‘authentic travel experience’

Sixt rent a car News — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:41:18 +0000

Speaking just a few words of a local language can help Britons enjoy a more fruitful holiday, it has been claimed

Learning even just a few words of a local language can help travellers escape the well-worn tourist trail and enjoy a ‘more authentic travel experience’.

That is according to one expert commenting on the news that around six in ten Britons refuse to attempt to learn a foreign language before going overseas.

According to the research carried out by TravelSupermarket.com, 12 per cent of Britons feel there is ‘no point’ in making an effort to learn some common phrases, largely as they believe everybody speaks English.

However, Vanessa Lenssen, founder and chief executive of GoLearnTo.com has explained that a little effort in this department can bring significant rewards.

“You’ll meet new people and discover things that a tourist just wouldn’t be able to without trying to communicate with the locals,” she said.

This advice comes soon after the Department for Children, Schools and Families teamed up with Channel 4 to launch a campaign aimed at encouraging school pupils to choose a modern language at GCSE level.

Holidaymakers in Spain ‘keen to explore’

David Jackson — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:19:44 +0000

A tourism expert has claimed that travelling is a key part of a holiday in mainland Spain, which could mean that there will be high demand for services such as car hire in Malaga.

Holidaymakers heading to mainland locations tend to want to move around the region, an expert has stated.

In news which could suggest that there will be high demand for car hire in Malaga, Frances Tuke, spokesperson for ABTA – The Travel Association, said that these locations have plenty to offer when it comes to exploring.

She commented: “On the mainland, it is not so much about sticking where you are. People are a lot more keen to move around and have their freedom.”

Ms Tuke added that exploring is considered a major part of a holiday in Spain by many tourists, which could result in high demand for car hire in Malaga.

Recently, sources in the car hire industry told the BBC that a spike in last-minute bookings was leading to high demand for vehicles.

They stated that Spain was the worst-hit area by this problem, those looking for car hire in Malaga may be interested to hear.
