What to do for the summer solstice
The summer solstice marks the official start of the summer. We’ll tell you all about the best celebrations on Spain’s best beaches.
Firstly, let us explain what exactly the summer solstice is and what it signifies. We all know that it refers to the longest day of the year, which marks the start of summer. But why does this happen? This phenomenon occurs due to the Earth’s orbit, which is why there is always one hemisphere more illuminated than the other. This means that when a hemisphere is illuminated in all its splendour, the summer solstice occurs.
When does the summer solstice begin?
This Thursday, on 21st June 2018, the northern hemisphere will welcome the season preferred by millions of people. The warm summer then begins and we start dreaming of the perfect tan, with our long-awaited holidays and dips in the sea and pool.
Everything about the Russia 2018 World Cup
The Russia 2018 Football World Cup is about to kick off. We’ll tell you everything you need to know about the matches, teams, dates and times.
Four years have gone by since Germany won the World Cup title at the legendary Maracana Stadium. But the magic of football returns this afternoon at 17:00 in the opening match between the host team, Russia, and a World Cup rookie, Saudi Arabia.
From today until July 15, the 32 teams will face each other in the 21st year of this sporting event, where Italy’s absence will be greatly felt.
2018 World Cup Group Stage
Özil's Germany, Pogba's France, Leo Messi's Argentina and Neymar's Brazil must first all get through the group stage (three matches, one against each group's opponent) in order to reach the knockout stages.
Along with Spain, these four teams are the big favourites and it doesn’t seem that they’ll have problems in getting rid of their first three rivals. However, pay attention to these matches: Germany - Mexico (June 17) and Argentina - Croatia (June 21)
The best summer terraces
Summer is upon us, and with it, the terrace season. We’ll tell you about the best spots to have a drink outside.
Speaking about Spain in summer is synonymous with its lively streets, people walking around and enjoying our cuisine and, of course, the atmosphere on the terraces and what keeps them going.
Terrace season has begun with the arrival of June, when bars and restaurants offer their services outdoors and when the most unexpected cocktails can be found at our tables. Elba Hotels will tell you everything you need to know about this new terrace season.
Terrace charm
The sun, a beer and a tapa are the main charms of summer’s arrival. Terraces have something special, something that stops you from leaving them and that makes you come back the next day. Maybe it’s the music, the cocktails or the heat, but the reality is that the Spanish summer wouldn’t really be summer without its terraces.

Andalusia’s tourism is timeless!
In Andalusia you can do every type of tourism, from rural tourism with children, an escape with your partner, to cultural tourism.
When we talk about Andalusia it’s impossible not to mention its fabulous beaches, its Mediterranean climate and the ‘chiringuitos’ on the sand, a delight for tourists during the summer months. But, Andalusia is much more than sun and sand, and much more than parties and ‘siestas’, perhaps this summer is a good moment to find out.
Beaches and Mountains in one location
Andalusia is the perfect destination for pairing tourism and sports. Its climate and earth present a great range of possibilities, the ocean and air make southern Europe the ideal location to practice water sports; like snorkelling or surfing, but you can also enjoy a boat trip along the Mediterranean waters. Cadiz, specifically, Tarifa, has become one of the most important places to surf or kite-surf in Europe.
