Music and laughter filled the Alhaurin Golf Clubhouse last Saturday evening during a special fundraiser organised by the TAPAS Choir. Guests experienced wonderful heartwarming performances as part of the Singing into Summer celebration. Everyone celebrated the occasion on May 9 to benefit two local charities – Donkey Dreamland and Age Care.

Guitarist and singer Dave Lewis got everyone on their feet dancing with timeless rock classics late into the evening. Expresso Doble brought additional musical delight, drawing from their connections as two-fifths of the Stolen Gnomes and two-thirds of the Whisky Piskys. Talented host Leon Patras maintained a lively atmosphere from start to finish with his engaging, and energetic charms. Proceeds went directly to Donkey Dreamland and Age Care.

Established group provides community for Guadalhorce expats

Members of this popular choir have gathered regularly for more than twenty years now. Multinational expats from at least 8 different countries living in the Guadalhorce Valley area created the group to encourage friendships and keep busy, especially in retirement years. Activities extend far past singing sessions into diverse interests that appeal to many different personalities. Theatre play readings offer creative outlets for participants who enjoy dramatic arts. Mediterranean gardening sessions attract nature enthusiasts keen to learn local techniques. Gentle walking groups promote healthy outdoor time in pleasant surroundings. Dancing classes bring rhythm and enjoyment to weekly meetings for all skill levels.

Expats discover support and fun

Participants view TAPAS as more than a choir or singing group. This organisation serves as a family for expats residing in southern Spain. Opportunities arise to meet interesting people from varied backgrounds through regular social gatherings and shared experiences. Everyone benefits from staying active and connected within the group while building lasting relationships in a supportive environment that feels like home away from home.
