Your Tapas Journey
Begins in Marbella
Facts, Resources & Preparation Guide
Namaste,
Welcome, and thank you for registering. You are about to embark on six days of Tapas, guided by Enlightened Masters Sri Preethaji and Sri Krishnaji, at the Barceló Marbella on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain.
Marbella in February is quiet, mild and unhurried — a setting that gives you the space to turn inward, away from the pace of everyday life. It is a good place to arrive, to settle, and to be still.
This page is your complete preparation guide. The most important step now is to book your hotel stay using the link and promo code below — rooms at the negotiated Tapas rate are limited.

Travel & Transportation
Málaga is the gateway to the Costa del Sol, with direct flights from across Europe and good connections from the Americas, the Middle East, India and Asia. Marbella lies west of Málaga along the coast.
Transfer guidance is being finalised. Airport transfer options (taxi, shuttle, bus) and estimated journey times from Málaga Airport to the Barceló Marbella will be added here and shared via the WhatsApp group.
Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport is the nearest international airport and the recommended arrival point. Direct flights from most major European cities and onward connections worldwide via Madrid, London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Doha, among others.
Spain's principal long-haul hub, with nonstop flights from North and South America, India and Asia. Connect onward to Málaga by a short domestic flight or by high-speed train (Renfe AVE) to Málaga María Zambrano station.
Regional alternatives with European connections. Both require onward road travel to Marbella; Málaga remains the simplest option for most participants.
Arriving by train
If you are travelling within Spain, high-speed AVE trains run to Málaga María Zambrano station from Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Córdoba. Marbella itself has no railway station, so the final leg from Málaga to the hotel is by road.

The Costa del Sol has one of the mildest winter climates in mainland Europe. Approximate average daytime highs by month:
February on the Costa del Sol — Daytime highs of around 16–19°C (61–66°F), with mornings and evenings cooling to roughly 8–10°C (46–50°F). February is outside the tourist season — the coast is quiet and calm, which suits the inner work of Tapas well. Sunny days are common; occasional rain is possible.
- Pack layered clothing — mild afternoons, cool mornings and evenings
- A light jacket or warm layer for the evenings and any outdoor time
- Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes
- A compact umbrella or light rain jacket for the occasional shower
- Modest, comfortable clothing for the programme hall — loose and layered
