On Thursday 24 September, the British Chamber of Commerce in Spain was delighted to host the Andalucía 2026 New Season Cocktail. The event was held in collaboration with Dueñas Ruart Abogados at the stunning Only YOU Hotel Málaga. It brought together an excellent turnout of members and guests from across Andalucía for an evening of networking and relationship building.
The evening marked the beginning of another exciting season for the Chamber in the region. It also provided an ideal opportunity for attendees to reconnect and strengthen professional relationships.
The event reflected the continued growth and strength of the British-Spanish business community in Andalucía. Attendees had the opportunity to meet fellow Chamber members, exchange ideas, and develop valuable new connections in a welcoming and professional setting.
The evening began with opening remarks from Derek A. Langley, the Chamber’s Regional Vice-President. He welcomed guests and highlighted the Chamber’s continued commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for networking, collaboration, and business development across the region.
This was followed by a talk from our event sponsor, Dueñas Ruart Abogados, a highly respected and long-standing member of the Chamber.

Guests then enjoyed an evening of networking in the exceptional surroundings of the Only YOU Hotel Málaga. The venue provided the perfect backdrop for engaging conversations and the exchange of ideas.
Professionals from a wide variety of sectors took the opportunity to strengthen existing business relationships. They also discussed future opportunities and established valuable new connections within the Chamber’s growing regional network.
