Spain Marbella

Mark ter Stege on 21 November 2008
I joined fellow colleagues from across the globe to celebrate our success and gain further travel knowledge when our company Travel Counsellors invited us to its annual conference in Marbella.

I was invited to the luxurious resort in the Costa del Sol as a reward for my hard work and dedication to providing my customers with the highest levels of personal service. I was joined by fellow Travel Counsellors from across the globe at this spectacular event, which was sponsored by the Spanish Tourist Office and the tourist offices of Andalucia and Costa Del Sol and was the largest travel agent event held by a UK travel company this year.

I was able to sample the fantastic culture and sights that the Costa del Sol has to offer and gain a wealth of knowledge about this fantastic destination. This included visits to an array of hotels and a host of special excursions including wine tasting, golf, paella cooking, jeep excursions, flamenco dancing, rock climbing, abseiling, archery, mountain biking and a visit to Malaga and the famous Picasso Museum.

The airports in Madrid and Malaga are quick and easy to transfer through. The local people are very friendly and most speak English. There are over 8000 pubs/night clubs and 60 golf courses in the region.Buses and taxis are easily available everywhere. They boast about having 325 days of sunshine a year.
