Last Year Sitges threw some amazing Halloween Parties. So if you are in town on the 31st of October, make sure to bring a costume. Most of the bars will be throwing their halloween parties…so its a great excuse to get dressed-up! And remember, Nov 1st is a holiday in Spain..so you can be guaranteed that the bars will be busy! Enjoy.

The 2008 European Gay Games comes to Barcelona. So expect July next year to be a very busy month. We suggest you get booking your accommodation now, if you want to be in with a chance of getting your preferred apartment.

To promote the event, the organisers have developed the video.. the soundtrack is a bit cheesy but it does show some of the best shots of Barcelona and some cute athletes too!
