The Danish Club – smørrebrød, billiards, and petanque

In Almuñécar, the Danes have their own gathering place: Dansk Spansk Samvirke – commonly known as "the Danish club". Here, members meet for Friday gatherings featuring open-faced sandwiches (smørrebrød), billiards, petanque, and a chat in Danish.

Friday gathering with smørrebrød

The highlight of the week is the Friday gathering, where the kitchen serves traditional Danish smørrebrød. This typically brings together 40–80 Danes. The club owns its own clubhouse featuring a bar, library, and billiard room.
