Cabaret hits Barcelona

Cabaret Barcelona

If your in Sitges over the comming months then its worth knowing that Cabaret is playing in Barcelona until early 2008. It will probably be one of the best performances of Cabaret you are likely to see. The legendary musical which has broken all box office records, is to open at the Teatre Apolo de Barcelona from the 26th of September. Prices from 21.60 € to 72.25 €. You can buy your tickets online here.

Easter Traditions and delicious Chocolate…..

Easter in Sitges

Like everything else they celebrate, the Catalan’s put their own twist on Easter Celebrations. The town will be busy this weekend with many people comming for their easter holidays. All of the bars are open so make the most of it. One thing you will notice on your trip is the size and variety of their Easter Eggs. More of a cross between an egg and a cake, the “Mona” is a whimsical chocolate and pastry creation given in the same way we give Easter eggs.

Bubo Bar, Barcelona

So if you are looking to get your boyfriend that perfect chocolate gift, we suggest you take a trip into Barcelona and head for the Bubo Bar and Chocolate shop on Caputxes 10.

Bubo Bar, Barcelona

Chic and fattening at the same time, you won’t be able to resist the delicious creations that this bar serves up. And their easter eggs are like works of art!

Happy Easter or as they say in Catalan, Felices Pasques.
