A note about the beautiful city of Sarasota, Florida:

While snow is falling in Northern States, Sarasota is drenched with sunshine in the winter months, with temperatures averaging from the high 60’s to a glorious mid 70’s!

February is the time of the month that ‘snowbirds’ flock to Florida, particularly to Sarasota, known for its culture and stunning beaches.

The residence of Hector Olivera is approximately 5 miles from Siesta Key’s beach, 6 miles from downtown Sarasota, 2 miles from Sarasota Mall, 15 miles from Sarasota International Airport, 58 miles from Tampa Airport, 2 hours from Disney World. In other words: a perfect location!

Registered participants will receive a list of various hotels in the direct neighborhood.

Car rentals are directly available at the airport; airports are easily accessible.
