Wednesday night saw La Locacola become centre stage, when the “Noche de Turistas” kicked off with glam packed action all night!

Johanna stole the show.. all white and innocent!

The boys from Oreks centrainly know how to glam-up!

Francois wowed the crowd with his fetching number! He'd look good in anything!

Our very own host for the evening…. a barmaid like no other!

So many parties, so little time! The Night of Las Mantillas in Bar Comodin on Tuesday night was amazing. If you ever want to visit a club where people really know how to party then this is it! Hot Salsa dancers mix with over-the-top drag queens to create a unique ambience! Fab!

Old drag queens mixed with new as costumes became more outrageous as the night went on till the small hours of the morning.

Cute boys mixed with well-known locals and tourists alike in what had to be one of the best nights we've seen in a long time in Sitges.

Bar Comodin is located on Taco and their listing on Gay Sitges Guide can be found here.

The entire photo gallery of the night is located here.

Good news on the restaurant front. The Beach House has re-opened for Carnival and will remain open for the entire season. 4 course menu remains keenly priced at 19.90€ and the food is excellent. Reservations are highly recommended 664 686 999.

Happy Valentines Day to all of our readers. Its now well into Carnival and to have 2 celebrations on the same day makes for an even better night out in Sitges, if that could even be possible.

Tonight is Noche Las Turistas in La Locacola. As you can see from their colourful flyer, expect a flamboyant night!

Gay Carnival events continue apace with the night of “La Mantillas” taking place this Tuesday. A special dinner takes place first in Restaurante Alma and then on to Comodin for their usual gala spectacular.

For those of you who want to know, the lightweight ornamental mantilla came into use in the warmer regions of Spain towards the end of the sixteenth century, and ones made of lace caught the fancy of some elegant ladies in the following century, as seen in some portraits by Velázquez. However, the ladies of the court and the upper echelons of society did not take to it until the eighteenth century. In the nineteenth century, Queen Isabel II (1833-1868) actively encouraged its use. The practice diminished after her death, and by 1900 the use of the mantilla became largely limited to special ceremonies, such as bullfights, Holy Week and weddings…. and by Drag Queens out to impress at Carnival!

See you tonight!
