Rotary Club Marbella Elviria created enthusiasm recently with two key events that mixed local tradition, live music and official ceremonies. The club, previously called Rotary Club Marbella East, adopted a name reflecting its Elviria location and stronger regional focus.
Beach La Moraga brings Andalucian tradition to international members
Rotary Club Marbella Elviria organised the first international La Moraga evening on a Marbella beach, a traditional Costa del Sol beach barbecue using only wooden fishing boats filled with sand on the beach as their barbecue base.
Guests enjoyed sardine skewers and fresh fruit skewers in a relaxed seaside atmosphere. The bar featured the Congas concept from Spain, an innovation that carbonates tap water with gas to create flavoured sparkling drinks now on sale.
Singer Ana Soto performed with a Spanish guitarist, adding live music to the evening. A raffle supported fundraising while attendees enjoyed the beach setting. Local town hall approval was required for the beach event. This occasion introduced international members to a classic Andalusian tradition.
Change of Collar dinner celebrates leadership and identity
Rotary Club Marbella Elviria hosted its Change of Collar dinner last week at Marbella Golf and Country Club. Linda Eccles was installed as president for 2026 after serving in 2025. Formal proceedings during the evening included the official name change to Rotary Club Marbella Elviria.
Rotary Club Marbella Elviria builds on strong foundations
Founded in 2020, Rotary Club Marbella Elviria serves as an English-speaking international group for professionals. Meetings take place on the second and last Wednesday afternoons at Marbella Golf and Country Club. The club funds Rotary projects globally and supports local charities in Spain and Andalucia.
