Christmas at Peñoncillo: Care, Comfort & Festive Support for Seniors with English Nurse Spain
Celebrating the Season in the Sun
Christmas on the Costa del Sol is truly unique. Here at Peñoncillo, near Nerja, we swap snowflakes for sunshine and heavy coats for light cardigans. The festive lights are twinkling in Torrox Costa, and the scent of roasted chestnuts fills the air in Nerja’s Balcón de Europa.
For many of us, this is the most magical time of the year. However, for our elderly expat community, the festive season can sometimes bring challenges. Mobility issues, the loss of a partner, or family living far away in the UK or elsewhere can turn December into a lonely month.
At English Nurse Spain, we believe no senior should feel unsupported during the holidays. Whether it’s a friendly face to share a mince pie with, or professional nursing support to give peace of mind to distant families, we are here to help.
Jubilee House: A Home Away from Home
Our flagship facility, Jubilee House, located right here on the seafront at Peñoncillo, is preparing for a wonderful Christmas. We understand that for British expats, “care” isn’t just about medical support—it’s about culture, language, and shared traditions.
Led by Liz Brown, one of the few nurses registered to practice in Andalucía with the specialist ENB 941 qualification (Care of the Older Person), our team ensures that medical needs are met with the highest professional standards. But just as importantly, we ensure the spirit is cared for.
- Festive Companionship: Our guests enjoy the company of English-speaking staff who understand the importance of a proper Christmas dinner, a cracker, and a chat in their native tongue.
- Respite Care: For families who are visiting Spain but need extra support for an elderly relative, or for full-time carers who need a well-deserved break over the holidays, our respite services offer a safe, warm, and professional environment.
Peace of Mind for Families and Friends
If you are reading this from the UK or another part of the world, worrying about a parent or loved one in the Nerja or Torrox area, let us bridge that gap.
It is natural to worry about how Mum or Dad is coping alone during the holidays. English Nurse Spain acts as your eyes, ears, and caring hands on the ground. We offer:
- Home Care Visits: To check in, help with medications, or simply provide companionship.
- Close Care at Jubilee House: Promoting independence but with 24/7 support available immediately if needed.
- Direct Communication: We keep families informed, so you can enjoy your own Christmas knowing your loved one is safe and happy.

- Local Expertise: Deeply embedded in the community of Peñoncillo, Torrox, and Nerja.
- Qualified & Legal: Fully insured, police-checked team led by a registered British nurse.
