El Chiringuito de la Mar Bella

El Chiringuito de la Mar Bella caters for the city’s large gay community and, of course, gay visitors. Its location on this part of the beach couldn’t be better, clearly targeted towards a more gay clientele, but in Barcelona sexuality is not something people consider out of the ordinary and where the mix is often […]

It offers a rooftop pool with panoramic city views, and air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen a satellite TV, minibar and a safe.

Palma de Mallorca

Palma de Mallorca is the only true city on the island of Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands off the Spanish east coast. Half the population of Mallorca lives in the city of Palma. The city became a tourist destination in the 1950s, and tourist numbers have continually increased in the subsequent half-century. The holiday […]

Hotel Platjador

On the seafront, metres away from the town centre is the three-star Hotel Platjador. Even if you are not staying here, the rooftop bar is open day and night and has excellent rooftop views of the surrounding area while enjoying a sparkling glass of Cava in the open air. While the small waves roll onto the beach […]

Four Points By Sheraton Barcelona Diagonal

Located in Barcelona (Sant Marti), Four Points By Sheraton Barcelona Diagonal is close to Parc del Centre del Poblenou, Sagrada Familia, and Palau de la Musica Catalana. Also nearby are Mar Bella Beach and Port Olimpic. The room was an excellent size with floor to ceiling windows, clean and stylish, but simple. I especially loved […]

Ronda • Spain

A mountainous region 100km from Malaga, at 750m above sea level, Ronda offers some of the most stunning views and escapes. The Rio Guadalevín runs through the city, dividing it in two and carving out the steep El Tajo canyon upon which the city is perched. Ronda was first settled by the early Celts, but […]

Sitges • Spain 2009

Sitges in Spain (Catalunya), the beaches and the town, my annual travels to this wonderful liberal town. Just 30-minute train ride from Barcelona gets you to this seaside town with very active ‘gay’ culture. It is lively in the summer and the beaches are welcome to all, this is a great destination that has welcomed all […]

Hotel Montecarlo – Seville

Hotel Montecarlo is a restored 18th-century manor house, featuring 2 typical Seville patios. It is set 274 yards from Seville’s Plaza de Armas and a 5-minute walk from the Maestranza Bullring. All air-conditioned rooms at the Hotel Montecarlo feature flat-screen satellite TV and a laptop safe. There are a work desk and a minibar, and […]

Hàbaluc – the pleasure of eating

Hàbaluc – comida sana and creativa, a healthy and creative cuisine. Its name means “the pleasure of eating” in Aramaic. Colourful interiors with white sails that cover the ceiling, like sitting under a canopy of a tent, it feels rather a circus like, perhaps expressing the creative menu it offers. An outdoor terrace for warm days […]

Seville • Spain

Seville is more than 2,000 years old and has a distinct personality, a large and well-preserved historical centre with strong medieval, renaissance and baroque heritage and heavy influences from Arabic culture, which can be seen in the most famous monuments and places. I have a love affair with Seville, it is just one of those […]

Return to Sitges

Sitges, a seaside town 35 kilometres southwest of Barcelona, a perfect retreat of sand, sea and sun. Known for its liberalism and its easy lifestyle. One of my favourite destinations to unwind, and experience a real holiday. While the roots of Sitges‘ artsy reputation date back to the late 19th century, the town became a centre […]

Hostal Puerta del Sol

Hostal Puerta del Sol is situated in the Puerta del Sol Square, this is the best place to enjoy the gay scene and the vibrant nightlife of the Spanish capital of Madrid. Many of the city’s major attractions are also nearby, museums, bars, palaces, clubs and discos, so public transport is not always necessary. It […]

NH Barcelona Diagonal Center

A business-friendly hotel, NH Barcelona Diagonal Center is a stylish design hotel in the Poblenou district of Barcelona, just 15-minute walk from the beach. I really liked this hotel, it was clean and spacious, however, there were some things that didn’t score high with me. Though great value for the hotel, the area lacks conveniences […]

Vic • Spain

Called Ausa by the Romans, 69km from Barcelona, Vic is of ancient origin. During the 18th century, the city was the first focus of the rebellion against the centralist policy of king Philip V of Spain. The conflict became the War of the Spanish Succession, which resulted in Catalonia losing its freedom as a nation. This […]

SoCa Restaurant

International dining is becoming more commonplace, just because you are in Spain doesn’t mean you have to stay with tradition, despite Chinese, Indian or Arab food being available, each country still has it’s own variation on the theme. Southern California food is the choice as I prepare to dine at SoCa Restaurant and Bar in Sitges. I’ve passed […]
