Entertainment in Almuñécar – how my working day looks like

<p>The hotel entertainment can be soft and easy or crazy and hard&period; I have already worked in 7 different hotels in Greece and Spain and I can say that the entertainment is always different&period; Working hours are never the same&period; There are always different types of the guests &&num;8211&semi; sometimes with kids and sometimes without&comma; sometimes young people&comma; sometimes old&comma; there are people of various nationalities&comma; usually one nationality dominates&period; The activities are also different depending on the hotel facilities&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The entertainment is also about being able to have a rest in order to do good job&period; The free time is always limited&period; Especially in Greece it felt like we didn&&num;8217&semi;t have much time to relax&period; In Greece I got just one day off&comma; in Spain one and half day off&period; Now I work in an exceptional hotel where I have two days off&period; At the moment I do quite soft animation&period; Let me present you how my working day looks like&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h1>Daily schedule<&sol;h1>&NewLine;<p><strong>8&colon;45<&sol;strong> &&num;8211&semi;

Back to work&excl; Next activity starts at 15&colon;00&period; On Monday and Friday there is the sangría&sol;cocktail demonstration so I need to prepare all the things for that &lpar;then I hope the guests won&&num;8217&semi;t drink everything and I&&num;8217&semi;ll get some for my break☺&rpar;&period; Every Tuesday and Thursday I teach Spanish&period; I think I&&num;8217&semi;m pretty good now with the basics that I repeat again and again&period; On Wednesday I play the new game I mentioned in previous post &&num;8211&semi;

I can even visit places in Almuñécar or just take a walk and enjoy the sunny weather &lpar;when there is no strong wind or rain&rpar;&period; I also have to prepare myself for the evening&period; Sometimes I need to do some preparations for the evening programme as well&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><strong>20&colon;00<&sol;strong> &&num;8211&semi;
