Well known travel writer Frank Laterreur is currently writing a series of articles for “Baltimore Out Loud”, one of the largest regional gay newspapers in the US. His focus is on exploring different destinations and he has a comprehensive travel feature on Sitges, which should hopefully further increase the profile of Sitges in the US market. Judging by the traffic we are getting from the article at the moment, its definitely creating interest!

His comments on the guide were great.. “The website, www.gaysitgesguide.com is one of the best and easiest to use of any internet guides I´ve ever seen”… We always welcome all feedback, but its always nice to have unsolicited positive comments that you can verify. To see his comments, check out the full article here.

This is the song that will represent Soraya for their Eurovision song contest! The singer got her big break in the reality TV show Operación Triunfo programme in Spain in 2005. No doubt you will be hearing this song in the discos and clubs of Sitges over the coming months!

For those of you who aren’t into Eurovision..and prefer your dancers more butch.. check out these boys from Rio, celebrating Carnival… we think this is a great way to choose a Carnival King!

We visited Bar Amura last night for their grand opening.

The bar has a nice bistro feel with lots of tables and chairs, a large flat screen and full bar service.

The bar will open from 6pm daily until 2.30am.

It is a welcome addition to the Stiges scene and will provide a different venue to visit on your next trip to Sitges.
