<p>Indeed, most of the time equipped with automatic forward and reverse gears, they are a lot easier to ride than motorbikes. No previous experience is needed! The best is that while enjoying yourself riding these monsters on fun tracks, you can look around and contemplate the beauty of nature.</p>
<p>From all the websites that provide these tours, only a few are actual registered companies and have an office. For safety reasons and insurance matters, it is highly recommended to book your tour from a professional adventure company.</p>
<p>To name a few, depending on where you are staying, you have <a href="http://www.exploramas.com">Exploramas</a> in Malaga (70€ / person), <a href="http://www.leisure2000.com/">Leisure 2000</a> in Estepona (75€ / person) and <a href="http://www.marbellatop100.com/safarishop/activities.php">The Safari Shop</a> in Marbella (69€ / person, videos available on their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/MarbellaAdventures">Youtube Channel</a>). The Safari Shop has its office in Puerto Banus and can arrange pick-ups in and outside Marbella. Contact them for more information <a href="http://www.marbellatop100.com/contact.php">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A brand new British owned and managed nightclub has opened its doors for the<br />
first time this week in Benalmadena’s famous ’24 hour square’.</p>
<p>‘JESTERS’ carries a tag line that personifies its confident intention of<br />
being ‘THE PARTY CLUB’. It also introduces a new character to the nightlife<br />
scene on the Costa Del Sol, it’s eye catching logo being a jester called<br />
‘SENOR JINGLES’.</p>
<p>Previously called the ‘Solymar’, the club has undergone both interior and<br />
exterior refurbishment, extensive re-branding and is also set to benefit from a<br />
dynamic new music and entertainment policy. ‘JESTERS’ also offers enhanced<br />
stock lines, some ‘unique in the square’ bar features, a brand new range of<br />
merchandise and a ‘V.I.Pass’ which will benefit both local residents and<br />
regular tourist visitors all year round.</p>
<p>Situated in the heart of the famous ’24 hour square’ in Benalmadena,<br />
‘JESTERS’ is ideally placed to offer a hearty welcome to both local<br />
residents and tourists alike.</p>
<p>Manager, Jon Artus commented:</p>
<p>“ ‘JESTERS’ guarantees a warm welcome to all guests! Not only will they<br />
find the atmosphere friendly and our drinks prices offering excellent value<br />
deals all the time, but the service is also superb. Our carefully recruited<br />
British staff team focus on really looking after our guests and giving them the<br />
respect and attention they deserve. Equally, our music policy is quite simple<br />
– ‘whatever, whenever’. In reality, that means that we cater for any and<br />
all of our guests’ musical tastes – they want it, we play it. We believe<br />
that’s what a great club should be like. We offer a ‘Great Night<br />
Guarantee’ – and we proudly do so.”</p>
<p>For ‘JESTERS’ owners, Richard Lawson and Tony Kaye, this represents a very<br />
significant investment in Benalmadena – but one which they have committed to<br />
fully.</p>
<p>They commented:</p>
<p>“ We have been looking for several years at a development of this nature, but<br />
only decided to commit when we found what we felt to be the right place. To be<br />
able to develop such a great product and a truly credible quality offer which is<br />
different to all the other bars and clubs is exactly what we hoped to achieve.<br />
Crucially, this is the club that offers a party atmosphere for everyone, with<br />
music and service that encourages a wide age group to relax and feel at home –<br />
and enjoy real value for money too. That’s not just through the peak holiday<br />
season, but all year round. “</p>
<p>Whilst the doors are now open, plans for further development also continue –<br />
including a new terrace area and various theme nights and special events to name<br />
but two…</p>
<p>‘JESTERS’, currently trading ‘off season’ opening hours, (on Friday and<br />
Saturday nights), (licensed until 7am), will shortly be moving to a ‘seven<br />
days a week’ opening for the summer. But it won’t stay ‘dark’ after<br />
that… with the right local support, the ‘off season’ opening times will be<br />
extended. Jon Artus also pointed out that ‘JESTERS’ is available for private<br />
functions all year round – it would surely make a great venue for any party!</p>
