The price of the picnic will be according to the choice and availability of the day and will be paid separately.
Many guests come to Almería by plane or even by car and, due to lack of space, cannot bring what they need to be comfortable on the beach and usually spend money on things that they have to leave behind. So at Mdina we provide umbrellas, beach bags or coolers and ice buckets free of charge for guests who need them.

MDINA is the perfect choice for:

If required, we can organize catering, decorations, flowers, children’s monitors, lifeguard, bouncy castles, or you yourselves can consult any other recreational activity for the event.
When events are organized, the entire Rural House will be reserved for the event. The accommodation of the house will be available so that the guests of the event can stay for an additional cost. Although Mdina has space for 18 people in total, we can arrange additional accommodation at nearby establishments with which we collaborate with prior notice to ensure guests are within walking distance of the event. This allows them to enjoy themselves fully without having to drive.
Language immersion in English and Italian on request
The concept of summer courses at MDINA transpired due to high demand and frequent suggestions from friends, family and the general public.
The courses are tailored to the specific linguistic needs of the individual professional who does not have time to pursue an English course without the constant interruptions of the daily work routine.
Moreover, these courses allow the student’s family to relax at MDINA or enjoy the beaches and tourist activities in the Cabo de Gata park while a member of the family studying for an exam or an important meeting or presentation.
The courses will be designed and taught by John, who is highly qualified teacher and teacher trainer with more than 25 years of experience teaching professionals and university students.
