Freelancers Jesus Torbado, writing for El Mundo and Viajar, Rafael Calvete, (Speak and Rutas del Mundo magazines), and Fernando Garcia Pastrano (Touristic Sunday newspaper), were briefed on the development of the resort and toured its highlights.
During the quieter summer months a spa, steam room and sauna, communications centre, 10 more suites, boardroom, gym with the latest US and European fitness equipment, and extra dining areas will be added to the resort, hidden amid the dunes near Murqab in a nature reserve now being enlarged to 225 sq kms.
The writers, escorted by Victoria Albacar from inbound tour operator Travco, will publish their articles all over Spain, catching the attention of more than two million readers with an interest in foreign travel. Two groups of Swiss journalists have also visited Al Maha in recent weeks.
