If you’re fed up having the same trunks as 95% of the rest of the boys on the gay beach and are looking for someting that little bit different, Gay Sitges Guide suggests you try the new Andrew Christian Range.
You can go for the discreet option with minimal branding.
Or try something from their Hustler range and go a little bit more daring!
A nice pair of shorts is perfect for an after-beach party! Be daring and go with a vibrant colour.
Finally, if you’ve got it, well flaunt it with these daring low rise trunks from C-IN2.

In the mood for a bargin? Then head down to the streets of Sitges by La Fragata this Sunday from 11am to 8.30pm. All of the major Sitges stores will have a stand offering discounts on their end-of-stock items. Worth an early visit!
Sitges Art Fair takes place on Ribera this weekend and next weekend. Just look out for a large white Marquee in front of the beach. There were some stunning pieces at last year’s event with some very unusual art on display. If you’re looking for something to brighten up your home then its worth a visit.

We received some releases over the weekend showing us what every fashionista will be wearing on the beaches and streets of Sitges this Summer. If you've ever been to Sitges then you will know the influence the Italians have on the fashion scene over here. Expect even smaller trunks, bigger glasses and lots and lots of dark demin for Summer 2007!
Skimpy and white… not very practical, but who cares!
The butch look is in. “Wifebeaters” are de jour apparently.
Looking fit never looked so good, lots of greys and matching tops are the trend.
Again, the tank top theme is back again for 2007… perfect for those tanned biceps.
Dark demin, zips and leater weaves are hot for the season… and those clubs!
Dark…dark..dark..expect lots of chains dark demin and boots this Summer… black baton, optional.
Bring your credit card to Sitges when you go shopping… you're going to need it!

Last year, gay beach boys obsessed all about one number “06”… and no we're not talking about inches here. It was the AussieBum 2006 Collection. We have been informed that 2007 will be no different.. just watch the teaster video at the end of this post.
However, the big hit down under at the moment is the “wonderjock”… the undies that give you that little bit of lift! No padding… no tricks, apparently an Aussie friend of ours says they are ergonomically designed. We will let you be the judge of that… but we do think you will be seeing lots of “Property of …” jocks disappearing at the foam parties of Sitges this 2007…
With more than 44 different country domains visiting our site this past week alone… we just hope there are enough wonderjocks to go around!
To find out what 2007 has in store for Swimwear, check out the latest AussieBum teaster video or visit the AussieBum website for more info.

If you are spending New Year's Even in Spain and are planning on a glass of bubbly to see in the new year, then may we offer some advice? Cava, cava, cava! Yes, those of you familiar with traveling to Catalunya will know Cava well. Cheaper than its pretensious French sister and far less self-effected than its Californian cousins, Cava is one of the most versitile of Wines and has been produced in the Penedès region since the Greeks settled here in antiquity.
Bottles start at EUR 1.50, but we recommend, Segura Viudas' Reserva Heredad, which is sold in a bottle with a highly decorative metal ring around the bottom of the bottle and a metal crest on the side. Cava should be served very cold to really enjoy it. Serve in chilled flute champagne glasses so that the bubbles last longer, since they must travel farther before they break the surface. Place the glasses in the freezer for at least a half-hour before you will use them. Chilled glasses help to keep the cava cold.
Of course you could always wait until later on in the night and pour yourself a galss of Tequila or two… or even a whole bottle full… It is the New Year after all. Just ask these boys celebrating a birthday in Trailer last August when 2 bottles were consumed. Ouch!

Like most people visiting Sitges for the Christmas break, you are probably staying in an apartment. Don't forget to brighten it up with some Christmas cheer. The Fira de Santa Llúcia has been delighting us with traditional Christmas Fair since 1786. With over 300 stalls selling handmade decorations and gifts, christmas trees and mistletoe be sure to check it out if you are in Barcelona over the next few days.
Fira de Santa Llúcia, Pla de la Seu & Avda de la Catedral, Metro Jaume I, Dec 2-23, www.firesifestes.com.
Get decked up…. in Style – Maremàgnum
Or perhaps you would rather decorate yourself! Maremàgnum is an exclusive black mirrored shopping centre that is now over 10 years old and has become a Barcelona shopping institution. It has been recently redecorated and has a new lease of life. Gone are the gaudy discos and back are the trendy shops and restaurants. Check out Xocoa for some delicious chocolate treats or visit the family market on the ground floor where they have every sweet you can imagine.
Moll d’Espanya, Port Vell (93 225 81 00/www.maremagnum.es). Metro Drassanes. Open 10am-10pm daily.
Get into the Christmas Spirit…. Vila Viniteca
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without some Christmas Spirits. We just adore Vila Viniteca a family-run business which now boasts over 6,000 different wines and spirits in Stock. From the very cheap (€2 bottles of table wine) to the very expensive (1953 Damoiseau rum – €500) they have just added a new food shop which is perfect for fine cheeses, cured meets, olive oils and other delicacies.
Spain's religious orders have been hiding a secret fro many years! No nothing so evil.. just some delicious traditional food and drink made from some amazing flavours. Imagine such combinations as eucalyptus and orange liqueur all wrapped up in some beautiful pacakaging. You can even taste the food before you decide to buy any item by eating in the onsite cafe which is located on the site of a medieval thermal bath.
C/Palla 8, Barri Gòtic (93 302 69 93). Metro Liceu.
Remember, most stores will close early on Christmas Eve and not re-open until after Boxing Day/Stephen's Day and some will stay closed for a few days extra in preparation for the awesome January sales….

Beautiful Barcelona Shops
The only Catalan Christmas tradition stranger than the Caga Tió is the caganer. He is typically included in manger scenes along with the usual cast of characters (although generally not in center stage). And yes, he's doing exactly what it looks like he's doing.
At the Fira you can find a whole variety of caganers, ranging from traditional ones like this one to current pop culture and political figures. For a good description of the caganer tradition, take a look at the Wikipedia article.
Caga Tiós on display in the Santa Llúcia Christmas market next to the Barcelona cathedral. Caga Tió is one of those peculiar Catalan Christmas customs (like the caganer)…the basic principle is similar to a Mexican piñata, but in the form of a log wearing a red stocking cap.
Carte Ingles never disappoints with its Christmas Lights Display
The lights on the front of the building are more Las Vegas than Barcelona, but still look great.
The “Swags and Tails” lighting around the windows almost looks like real show as you walk up Plaza Cataluna
Don't forget to stop off at Fira where you can browse the thousands of the stalls selling some delicious items.
Finally stop off for a cocktail at the Hotel Majectic to finish off your day's shopping.
Barcelona is very busy at this time of year. If you haven't booked for Christmas then you will find it difficult to find a place. For the perfect apartment we recommend Barcelona Holiday Accommodation where Brian can help you find what you are looking for.
