I'm happy to report that we've now got three painting workshops scheduled for 2007. Maggie Price has been a great fan of ours and has recommended us to a couple of other artists who have contacted me. I've now got another workshop booked for September in addition to Maggie's and to artEscapes, the first group that was here in September. We're hoping for a few more workshops but it is already quite late in 2006 to get bookings for the first half of 2007. These workshops do require some lead time in order that they can be filled and people require some time to get organised so each day that passes makes it less likely that we'll get more of these for the first half of 2007 which is too bad. The scenery here in the springtime is so lovely, I'm sure that when the artists do finally come, they will be very happy with their subjects.
How was business this week? Well, we only had one drop-in on Wednesday, a couple of Belgian girls passing through. We had a group of 5 from Estepona come for lunch on Wednesday as well. They were celebrating a 58th wedding anniversary.... whew, that is a long time!! Otherwise, it has been fairly quiet this week. We only have one booking for tomorrow night but things do pick up again for us in the first week of December as there are two national holidays that week; we have a quite a few bookings that week. And we are working on our Fin de Año fiesta. Unfortunately we had a cancellation of one of the 3 bookings we did have due to family illness, so we still have 6 rooms available. Anyone interested in coming to Juzcar for New Year's Eve? Give us a ring!!
