The 40th wedding anniversary, known as Ruby Weddings, is celebrated in a grand way! It’s been many years of love since that “I do” that brought you to where you are today.
Few couples can say they have reached their 40th wedding anniversary, so it’s worth celebrating in the best way possible, showing that 40 years ago, you didn’t make a mistake!
Ruby Weddings have their symbolism, as the ruby represents long life, the fire of passion and love, thanks to its intense red color, hardness, and durability. And if there’s a vibrant land like this color, it’s Andalusia! Land of aromas, contrasts, and flavors.
That’s why in this article, we’ll tell you about the best venues and restaurants in Andalusia to celebrate your anniversary, whether alone or in company!
Hotel El Mirador
This hotel is ideal for experiencing history and culture within a space of noble architecture, where Andalusian style is combined with classic decorative elements.
Located in Alhaurín el Grande, in Malaga, it has medieval and Arab-style lounges and gardens where you can stroll arm in arm and feel like authentic knights and ladies in the Middle Ages. It’s a place where medieval shows are also held!
The hotel, completely renovated and with beautiful views of the Guadalhorce Valley, has 4 lounges (Cid Campeador Lounge, Doña Jimena Lounge, Doña Helena Lounge) and the Alhambra Terrace, a space to relax with a swimming pool.
As for gastronomy, its restaurant offers a traditional fusion cuisine with Andalusian cuisine, all made from high-quality raw materials.
El Mirador has 35 rooms, all equipped with air conditioning, heating, telephone, and a complete bathroom, but the suite is undoubtedly the highlight: a room with luxurious Mozarabic-style details, private jacuzzi, specially designed double bed with canopy and special dimensions, minibar, and even a gift of a bottle of cava for you. Romantic and delicate!
El Balneario
100 years of history is no small feat for this spectacular place at the Baños del Carmen, a beach resort located in Malaga that opened its doors in 1918.
This was a highly innovative project, and its success was immediate, as it kept growing to include a pier, a restaurant, a tennis court, and even a screen for watching movies from the shore.
Yes, because it also has incredible sea views that can be enjoyed in a romantic atmosphere, such as from the beautiful jaima, the rooftop, or the white lounge with large windows.
The delicious menus they offer combine tradition and innovation with high-quality ingredients, creating dishes that seek the perfect balance and a wide variety of typical dishes with modern touches and techniques. The standout dishes are the fish, the famous espetos, and the grilled rice dishes.
As for drinks and wine list, they have been carefully selected to offer a perfect pairing and ensure a gastronomic experience with all 5 senses, to accompany the best views, delicious aromas and flavors of our dishes, the sound of the sea, and the wonderful sensation of sun and sea breeze on the skin with spectacular wines.
Hacienda Faín Viejo
We travel back to the Arab era and come across Hacienda Faín Viejo, which over 500 years ago was a religious residence, with a legend that says it houses a great treasure. Now it’s your chance to find it! With its spaces adorned with antiques and works of art, and hectares of gardens filled with palm trees, lemon trees, and orange trees perfect for strolling.
From being a monastery to a Jesuit residence, a prison or an olive estate, the place has gone through numerous moments in history! And now, in this beautiful country house, you have all the necessities to celebrate your 40th wedding anniversary.
In addition, the Faín Viejo restoration team offers a wide range of high-quality dishes and elaborations with local products, so you won’t go hungry.
The Hacienda also has 10 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, ideal for you, as a couple, to spend your fortieth honeymoon.
San Roque Club
If you’re looking for exclusivity, this is the place for you. Located between Marbella and Jerez, it has one of the best golf courses in Europe, where you can enjoy your stay while practicing this fun and peaceful sport.
You will enjoy the peace and natural beauty of Andalusia and its landscapes such as Sierra Bermeja, with a wide range of indoor and outdoor spaces for you to enjoy and all its amenities.
But undoubtedly, we are impressed with its incredible interior courtyard, which houses a fountain and several terraces, and its gastronomy, as San Roque Club has four very distinct restaurants that offer an impressive variety of haute cuisine ranging from Japan to tapas.
In this space, you will also have access to Casa Tony Jacklin, a charming and intimate boutique hotel surrounded by gardens.
Restaurante Carmen de los Chapiteles
Located in Granada at the foot of the Red Hill, under the Generalife and next to the Alhambra, we find La Casa Palacio Carmen de los Chapiteles. From its different areas such as its lounges, gardens, and viewpoint, you can enjoy the unique landscape that Granada offers, with beautiful views of the Alhambra, the Albaicín, and Sacromonte.
The construction dates back to the 14th century, the century in which El Carmen was handed over by the Catholic Monarchs to the Great Captain, Don Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, when the city of Granada was taken, marking this building with history. Even today, its original wooden ceilings and Nasrid-style gardens can be admired.
With innovative gastronomy, they work with top professionals in the restaurant industry to offer the best experience to their guests.
The restaurant also has a charming hotel, designed especially for unforgettable moments, allowing our customers to enjoy the rest and luxury that emanate from the history of our walls.
As they say, “those who marry go through everything” and you, who have been through the good and the bad, coming out victorious, deserve to celebrate it as it deserves!
