Halloween… parties

/in , /by

Halloween

Those of you planning to come to Spain for the long-weekend of Halloween should keep an eye out for the big parties in Barcleona. The one we recommend is taking place at the Gay Tea Dance on Sunday the 30th. It's know as “THE BLACK GOTHIC HALLOWEEN PARTY: Halloween night + Porno of your life!”

The best thing about this party is the dess code. Nothing too bad.. just wear black.. something black.. Our dress up in a nice police uniform like the boys above and come and arrest us.

We're waiting to see what the local Sitgeans are going to put-on for Halloween… just watch this space.

Amazing Views of Sitges

Fabricio in Sitges

Sitges has some amazing scenery. And what better way to view it than with a beautiful man…. We were out with Fabricio, taking some shots before he heads home to Brazil. But don't worry.. he will be back again next Season. Until then.. here he is enjoying some of Sitges more familiar sights.

Fabricio by the canon

These canons were meant to keep people out in the middle ages… now the invaders are more welcome…

Fabricio La Fragata Beach

La Fragata beach in the background is home to some of the more high-end restaurants in Sitges. It is also the scene where many local festivities are set, including the fireworks displays, the wine trashing competition and a host of other one-off events in Sitges. When it gets really hot, it is the best place to watch the boys play beach voleyball in the Summer…. lovely.

Sitges gets Gay Monument

/in /by

Gay Sitges Monument

Sitges recently unveiled the first monument dedicated to Gay people in Spain. The monument commerates the 10th anniversary of a particularly dark period in Sitges relationship with gay people. In 1996, the municipal government dediced to monitor the activity of gay people on the beaches of Sitges.

Gay Sitges Monument view from Beach

Unsuprisingly, this decision was met with uproar by the local gay community. Relations between gay people and local government institutions was frosty at best throughout that period. Tension mounted at the end of September when a gay waiter was attacked and beaten by a group of Neo Nazis. Local gay organisations mounted a protest on the streets and eventually the decision to monitor activities on the beach was dropped.

You can watch the unveiling of the monument here.

The monument bears the inscription, “Sitges. 1996 – 5 October 2006. Against homofobia”. In the shape of an inverted pink triangle, the monument itself looks a bit dated in our opinion, however it is still worthy of note as a move in a positive direction.

Barcelona Tour - Gay Sitges Guide

Between hopping in and out of Souvenir, dancing at Deitrich's and shopping on the Ramblas, whilst returning for your siesta in Sitges… it's little wonder that so many of you boys and girls have to come back more than once to see Barcelona properly.

So may we recommend the touristic-bus tour of Barcelona. Its not cheap at EUR 18 per day… as the information given on the tour is pretty basic. But if you don't have a lot of time and you want to see all of the major sites, it is highly recommended.

The Tourist Bus has 44 stops along three routes: Northern Route (red), Southern Route (blue) & Forum Route (green).

You can get on and off as many times as you like along the journey. This way, once you have visited those places you have been interested in you can catch the next bus and continue the route with the same ticket.

On board, there is a tourist information guide who announces the stops in different languages and helps you to make the most of your visit. But to be fair, your guidebook will provide better info!

Barcelona Tour - Air conditioned buses

During the summer the open-top buses are great fun…. You will probably need to bring a jacket in November.. but on Saturday Barcelona was a sweltering 26 degrees and the queues to get on the buses went on for miles. We will have more to follow soon in our new Barcelona site which launches next week.

Stay tuned… we have 22 more in development.

PS – We can't guarantee that all bus drivers will be this cute of that accommodating with their Uniform! Visit the official bus touristic site to purchase tickets online.

Hasn't he got a lovely Fire Engine!

Bilbao Calender

We certainly know where the fire is! Reminds us of the gay foam parties in Sitges.

All I can say is I'm off to see the local fire department. I must be missing something. Are all Spanish firemen this hot?

Well, what weather have we been having! Today the clouds cleared, and it looks like it will be a beautiful weekend… But since Tuesday we have had some spectacular thunder storms, as these photos show. Truly stunning.

Here is a view of the lightening against the clouds over the Port Aiguadolc at Sitges. Reminds me of a scene from the Witches of Eastwick!

And here you have the gathering coulds behind the beach. Believe it or not the water was still warm with people swimming as the lightening hit and the rain poured!
