After retiring to Spain Jytte Dam and Bente Lerche Christensen, both veteran Soroptimists from Denmark, were looking for a Soroptimist club on the Costa del Sol, but to their surprise there was none. Together with Soroptimists Ellen de la Reguera and Agnes Schelde they decided to change that.

Most of the members of SI Costa del Sol are at least bi-lingual and between them all they speak 11 languages, which is great when travelling abroad or when receiving international Soroptimist guests and visitors. Many of the members live on the Costa del Sol full time. They work here and have been living in Spain for an average of 25 years. What makes a Soroptimist Club strong is the mix of personalities and professions. We have among our members a lawyer, a secretary, a nurse, a dentist, a heart surgeon, a civil servant, an architect, a medical practice manager, a stewardess and a ballet instructor.
Below you can read some testimonials from the members about the joy of belonging to an international organization of professional women.
