An Express Culinary Guide – Casino Marbella Restaurant Restaurante Casino Marbella ushers in the new season with a revitalised menu that is sure to captivate discerning palates. At the helm, chef Agustín Román once again delivers a singular gastronomic experience, where hand-picked ingredients merge in perfect harmony to create an orchestra of flavours and textures that both excite the senses and elevate fine dining to new heights of sophistication.

Next comes the Veal “Suizo”, an elegant reinvention of the classic oxtail stew, subtly aromatic and served in a soft brioche bun—elevating comfort food into the realm of creative modern dining. Meanwhile, the Mazamorra with Mango and Mojama is a celebration of Andalusian tradition. This daring dessert unites the sweetness of mango ice cream, the delicate saltiness of cured tuna, and the slight bitterness of almond to form a beautifully contrasting, unforgettable medley.

Staying true to his dedication to local produce while indulging his flair for the exotic, Agustín unveils five meticulously crafted dishes set to enchant aficionados of contemporary cuisine.

Rounding off this culinary journey, the chef pushes boundaries with a White Chocolate Soup—a decadent dessert where creamy white chocolate meets the tang of red berries and the crunch of almond brittle, delivering a delightful finale with surprising complexity.

Paying tribute to Peruvian culinary heritage, the standout Salmon Ceviche with Quince and Hints of Lime delights with its freshness and originality—undoubtedly a strong contender for dish of the season. For those craving bolder flavours, the Hot Casino Potatoes offer a daring touch, perfectly balanced with just the right level of heat and the deep richness of a house-made sauce.

10

From 13 May, each of these culinary creations will be available at Restaurante Casino Marbella, open daily from 20:00 to 02:00 (summer hours: 21:00 to 02:30).

Edition 287 June 2025

FERIAS & FIESTAS

Welcome to the San Bernabé Fair – Marbella’s Most Joyful Celebration!

🇪🇸

One of the most anticipated moments of the year has arrived! Marbella is ready to celebrate the Feria de San Bernabé – a vibrant tribute to our patron saint, where the city's heart beats louder than ever.

During these festive days, Marbella transforms into a colourful spectacle of tradition, music, dancing, and joyful gatherings. Streets are decorated, flamenco dresses fill the squares, and locals and visitors alike come together to enjoy the spirit of Andalucía.

What’s the San Bernabé Fair All About?

This isn’t just another event on the calendar – it’s a heartfelt celebration of our cultural heritage. The fair honours San Bernabé, Marbella’s patron saint, and offers a perfect opportunity to connect with local traditions, meet people, and soak up the authentic Andalusian way of life.

Organised by the Town Hall in collaboration with local associations and brotherhoods, the fair features a packed programme for all ages – from family-friendly fun and traditional games to lively music, dance, and delicious food.

Where to Celebrate?

Day Fair: Head to the city centre, especially the old town (Casco Antiguo), where you’ll find open-air bars (casetas), music, and flamenco in the streets.

Night Fair: Held at the recinto ferial (fairground), this is where the celebrations continue after sunset with fair rides, concerts, and more festivities.

Cultural Tips for Visitors Dress the part: Locals often wear traditional Andalusian outfits – ladies in trajes de flamenca (flamenco dresses), men in smart shirts or traditional traje corto. While not required, joining in is always welcome!

Try local flavours: Sample rebujito (a refreshing mix of sherry and lemonade), grilled sardines, and local tapas.

Friendly & festive: Marbella locals are warm and welcoming – a smile and a simple ¡Feliz Feria! (Happy Fair!) go a long way.

Client Testimonial

Testimonio de Cliente

As an expat and a self-employed worker in Spain, getting private insurance was both a necessity and a daunting task. Thankfully, Esther Castro at Caser Seguros made the process absolutely seamless. Her warm nature made me feel like I was just calling up a friend to ask for advice—she listened to my situation and helped me choose the best insurance plans with genuine care.

Como extranjero y trabajador autónomo en España, contratar un seguro privado era una necesidad y, al mismo tiempo, una tarea bastante complicada. Por suerte, Esther Castro de Caser Seguros hizo que todo el proceso fuera completamente sencillo. Su carácter cercano me hizo sentir que simplemente estaba llamando a una amiga para pedirle consejo: escuchó mi situación y me ayudó a elegir los mejores seguros con un trato verdaderamente personal.

So far, my partner and I have medical and dental coverage for less than 55 euros a month, which is incredible value. On top of that, when I opened a workshop or had to handle corporate events, all I had to do was let Esther know, and she arranged the coverage I needed without hassle.

Hasta ahora, mi pareja y yo contamos con cobertura médica y dental por menos de 55 euros al mes, lo cual tiene un valor increíble. Además, cuando abrí un taller o tuve que organizar eventos corporativos, solo tuve que decírselo a Esther y ella me consiguió la cobertura necesaria sin complicaciones.

Esther always says that life insurance is the insurance of love—and we’re happy to take that on too. More than anything, as an autónomo (self-employed worker), I feel that Esther truly goes out of her way to get us the best quotes and deals, always being upfront and honest about what’s worth it and what’s not.

Esther siempre dice que el seguro de vida es el seguro del amor—y nosotros estamos encantados de contratarlo también. Pero, sobre todo, como autónomo, siento que Esther realmente se preocupa por conseguirnos las mejores ofertas y precios, siempre siendo honesta y clara sobre lo que realmente merece la pena.

Thank you, Esther, for being so much more than just an insurance agent. Thank you for being there to help us insure our most important life events.

Gracias, Esther, por ser mucho más que una simple agente de seguros. Gracias por estar ahí para ayudarnos a asegurar nuestros momentos más importantes de la vida.

ABSTRACT EXHIBITION KATS AND DOREEN’S WORK IN THE GALLERY Doreen Ingebrigtsen @Doreen_inspain Doreen Ingebrigtsen is a Scottish-born, Spain-based artist with over 27 years of experience. Her artistic journey began with formal art studies in Sydney, Australia, and has since taken her across the globe. Now residing in Sotogrande, Spain, Doreen is known for her captivating wildlife and abstract paintings, often blending hyperrealism with abstract elements.

Her wildlife work-primarily in oils-draws inspiration from artists like Robert Bateman and Nick Sider, focusing on endangered animals such as lions and tigers. These pieces are meticulously detailed yet frequently include an unexpected abstract twist. In contrast, her mixed-media abstract paintings offer a freer, expressive approach, influenced by Gerhard Richter and Robert Rauschenberg.

Doreen has exhibited internationally, with shows in Spain, Scotland, Mallorca, the United States, and more. From 2021 to 2023, she was a Resident Artist at The ArtHouse in Blue Ridge, Georgia. Her work reflects a deep emotional connection to nature and personal experience, capturing both the majesty of the wild and the complexity of human emotion.

Ekaterina Chernysheva @Kat.artista Transforming the Ordinary into the Extraordinary – The Art of Ekaterina Chernysheva at White Square Art Gallery This Month, @kat.artista has contributed with a series of decorative paintings, brooches, and intricately crafted sculptures — all made using innovative recycling art techniques.

“Inspiration often strikes in the most unexpected places: the dusty roadside, a forgotten alleyway, the remnants of daily life.” What others overlook as trash, she sees as potential. A rusty bottle cap, a broken shard of glass, fragments of old costume jewelry, plastic remnants, or even pieces of bark become catalysts for creation.

Once these materials speak to her, she transforms them, blending the incongruous with poetic precision into visually compelling and environmentally conscious artworks.

Her work embodies a deep commitment to sustainability and imagination, merging artistic expression with ecoconscious practices. Each piece carries the story of transformation and renewal from elaborately decorated serving boards to repurposed bottles. Her themed chopping boards, in particular, captivated collectors and art lovers alike.

Celebrated member of the White Square Art Gallery family, not only featured in Flora and Fauna, but also in our previous Abstract Art exhibition. She was one of our top-selling artists during the holiday season in December and again during Easter, a testament to the resonance and appeal of her work. @WHITESQUAREARTGALLERY ALL IMAGES PROVIDED BY: @YACKEAGRAPHICS

Noche de San Juan EXPRESS GUIDE: NOCHE DE SAN JUAN – SABINILLAS, 23RD JUNE Celebrate Noche de San Juan on the night of 23rd June, a magical night welcoming the summer solstice with bonfires on the beach in Sabinillas.

What to Expect Locals and visitors alike gather on the beach to light bonfires, traditionally called hogueras, and burn old furniture, papers, or symbolic items representing the past year’s bad luck, regrets, or negativity.

This ritual clears away the old to make space for new, positive energy and invites good fortune for the coming year.

Many people jump over the bonfire three times for good luck.

At midnight, it’s common to bathe in the sea—believed to purify the spirit and grant wishes.

Highlights in Sabinillas There’s a lively, festive atmosphere with live music, food stalls, and families celebrating together.

Watch the burning of the effigies provided by the Town Hall.

Fireworks often light up the sky after midnight.

39

www.webexpressguide.com

Express Tips to Enjoy San Juan Arrive early – The beach fills up quickly.

Wear comfortable clothing – Expect sand, smoke, and the sea.

Stay safe – Keep a safe distance from large fires, especially with children.

Be respectful – The beach is shared by all; help keep it clean.

Don’t forget to make a wish – Write it down and toss it into the flames!

Enjoy Noche de San Juan—a magical night full of tradition, community, and new beginnings!

ALFREDO VALENCIA, EL POETA DE LA NATURALEZA BY: Juan Emilio Ríos Vera

El universo de mi amigo Alfredo Valencia es extenso y variopinto, nada que suceda en el seno de la Madre Naturaleza, esa Gaia, que nos protege de la estulticia humana, le es ajeno. Así su mundo interior va desde la raíz más profunda al cielo más lejano e insondable, de la laboriosa hormiga a la descomunal ballena, de la tierra al aire, combatiendo el fuego que quema y protegiendo el fuego que calienta y buscando, como un zahorí experto, el agua allá donde se esconda.

Su hábitat natural es amplio y vasto, conociendo la cueva más profunda y el interior de los bosques antiguos, explorando desde la sima que rompe la piedra hasta la cima de la montaña más altiva, respetando cada forma de vida por insignificante que sea, aprendiendo de cada criatura, de cada árbol, de cada manifestación de latido posible.

Así que su poesía no puede ser Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, diferente a su cosmología, consecteturuna poética adipiscing elit. cultivando ecológica, Aliquam quis tristique sem, sed saludable, respetuosa, de consequat odio. vel admiración plena Pellentesque a la Natura que dictum elit. nos desborda.

Son sus poemas fiel reflejo de su manera de sentir, de pensar, de ser y de actuar. Sus versos son límpidos, cristalinos, transparentes como el agua más pura de los manantiales secretos y, en ningún momento, tiene que echar mano de forzados recursos literarios, palabras cultas, ni artificiales técnicas de creación, su palabra poética surge de forma natural como la Naturaleza pare un árbol, en palabras del visionario Vicente Huidobro que tan bien sabía que, la inspiración viene del esfuerzo reiterado y de muchas horas de trabajo.

Es un deleite para los sentidos sumergirse en un poemario de Alfredo Valencia Pereira, pero este, querido lector, que estás a punto de traspasar el zaguán de este prólogo para adentrarte de manera plena y profunda en sus poemas, es, desde mi punto de vista, el más logrado de toda su producción, el más disfrutable, el más reconfortante y sugerente, Loremtodo ipsum sit amet, sobre por ladolor luminosidad de adipiscing elit. suconsectetur tono, siempre positivista, Aliquam vitalista quis tristique sem, sed siempre y constructivo, consequat odio.

Pellentesque vel cuenta con palabras sencillas y sin dictum elit. doblez

Analizando a vuela pluma sus delicados, precisos y preciosos poemas, sin desvelar las claves del poemario, que sería el peor pecado de un prologuista, puedo afirmar que esta obra no contiene ni un solo verso que no esté transido de sentimiento, de respeto hacia el entorno que nos envuelve, de dolor por los desmanes y agresiones de los humanos hacia la Naturaleza, de confesión íntima al lector que se convierte en confidente. Así, el autor rinde homenaje a personas que han marcado su vida, y hacia las que siente una adoración muy especial como son el caso de Jacques Cousteau, Charles Darwin, Gerard Durrel o Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente, cuyos legados tenemos que reverdecer con acciones y no solo con palabras o recuerdos.

No puede faltar la declaración de amor hacia el murciélago, ese animal que supone su avatar particular, su alter ego, bien sabemos lo que conocemos a Alfredo que a él le gusta modificar su apellido para Lorem elipsum dolor sit amet, convertir Valencia en Batlencia y consectetur elit. que Batman es adipiscing su superhéroe Aliquam quis tristique sem, sed fetiche, pero también encontramos consequat odio.
