At Sand Dollar HQ, we’re in mid-term mode, with our little ones on their mid-term break from school. We packed up and headed for beautiful Marbella in Spain. Would you believe it was 24 degrees in Marbella yesterday? The children are enjoying the sun while looking cool and protected from the sun’s harmful rays in their Sand Dollar swimwear. What amazing models they are--though we might be a little biased! We’re having a great time soaking up the sun and enjoying the late October sunshine with lots of gorgeous food and adventures on the beach. We’ve been soaking up the sun outside for lunch at Cappuccino, our favourite spot on the beach, as well as enjoying bike rides on the promenade. We’d highly recommend Momo for an amazing dinner in the old town of Marbella. It’s a romantic venue with gorgeous international food that’ll suit even the picky eaters in the family. We capped the day off with tennis in the evening as the sun
