Last weekend, in the midst of the whole air crisis, we took the time to pay a visit to Gran Canaria to keep our local guide , www.gaygrancanaria4u.com up to date.
We would like to say a big thank you to all the bar boys at Coco Loco, Adonis, Mykonos and Strand-Apo-Theke…
The bars and clubs of Gran Canaria are gearing up for Pride Maspalomas which takes place from the 3rd to the 9th of May with the Parade taking place on the 8th of May. Gay Pride Sitges is even going to have their own float at the event with special guests, the Pride Boys and Lady Diamond….
So if you are in Gran Canaria for Pride don’t forget to say hello to all your Sitges friends…
As you may or may not know Ben and Pablo have closed the restaurant in its current location as of November 2009.It is and always has been their intention to find a new location and re open as soon as it is possible.
They had hoped that this would be in time for Easter 2010 but things didn’t go as planned and it looks like it will have to be put on hold until spring 2011.Both Ben and Pablo are looking forward to being “Back in the Saddle” and once again serving up a their unique combination of Pablo’s talents in the kitchen and of course Ben’s “Talent” front of house..
In the interim, you can find Lady Diamond at Queenz during the Summer Season (Dates to be announced) and at Parrots Restaurant every Friday Night from the 30th April for An Evening With Lady Diamond.

Well the buzz about pride is certainly going international. From discussions on frequent flyer forums to blog posts on international travel magazines such as Passport… plus traffic to the Pride Site from every place under the sun.. It looks like its going to be one International event!
Here’s some more promo photos to get you in the mood for the event which runs from the 9th to the 13th of July.
The emblematic Paseo de la Ribera in Sitges has begun a transformation to return to its original splendor, as it was before the 1960’s, when the area was urbanized between El Greco and the area of La Fragata. The goal is to return the waterfront to its original landscaped setting and give priority back to pedestrians.
The parking of vehicles was already banned in the area last summer, and now all traffic will be reduced to a minimum, allowing only the entrance of disabled vehicles and delivery vehicles to local shops, restaurants and bars. The new road will consist of a single lane for both directions of traffic, and not two lanes as at present, with a minimum width to force vehicles to reduce their speed at all times.
The space recovered in the area will be devoted to increase the width of the promenade back to its original size. The most significant change in the historic promenade will be to extend the area of land towards El Greco, and create a leisure space surrounded by lush gardens with clear views to the sea.
The work in Sitges, which will be developed in three phases, has already begun. Currently, they are replacing the water mains. In April the second phase will begin, with the transplantation of palm trees and work on the gardens, and from October the 15th the final landscaping will commence. Sensibly, between May and October no work will be carried out, to ensure there is no harm to the town’s tourist season.
