* In Spain the days taken between a weekend and a Public Holiday are called a ‘puente’, a bridge.
Finally, the dates have aligned… Father’s Day is a Thursday, meaning a long weekend is on the cards! Take advantage of the possibility, pack your cases and celebrate St. Joseph’s Day (celebrated as Father’s Day in Spain) with a wonderful short break together with your family, from Thursday to Sunday.
Travelling clears the mind and lets you get to know your loved ones better; travelling enriches and is a learning experience; travelling helps communicate emotions and opens your mind. Travelling brings you together… At Vincci we know all about it, so here are a few ideas to help you spend an unforgettable long weekend away together.
Father’s Day in Málaga
Málaga’s incredible climate lets you take part in all sorts of activities together… Heading to the beach, getting out into nature, cultural events… Málaga offers so many options for a family to enjoy. And just 45 minutes away you can visit Nerja, the village made famous by the classic Spanish TV series, ‘Verano Azul’ [Link in Spanish. For info on the series, see the Wikipedia page] or get out into nature on the Gran Senda de Málaga [The Málaga Great Trail, link in Spanish]
Hotels in Málaga
Vincci Hotels has four stupendous hotels in the Málaga region. In the city itself, the hotel Vincci Málaga 4*, located on the beachfront promenade, gives fantastic access to all the city’s landmarks.
The Vincci Posada del Patio 5* is right in the heart of the historic centre of the city, in fact in the foundations of the hotel you can see two old walls, one Roman and one Arabic… It’s an uncommon experience, and one very few hotels can offer.
Hotels in Benalmádena
Just 30 minutes from Málaga, right on the seafront in Benalmádena, is the hotel Vincci Selección Aleysa Boutique&Spa 5*, which has been recognised in the Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice Hotels 2015 awards as the best luxury hotel and the hotel with the best service in Spain.
And in Benalmádena a perfect place to visit with your family is the ‘Selwo Marina’ water park, a new concept of marine wildlife park, where you can discover the most emblematic species from South America.
