We've been neglecting our 101 essentials of late.. so much so that we're still at No 1. So after being introduced recently to Malvasia de Sitges, we thought we would include it as Essential No 2, as once you've tasted it, you'll be hooked. Sitges Malvasia is a true rarity with yearly production of about 4,500 bottles in total.

2.5 hectares of Sitges Malvasia still exist today, though they are now embedded between more recently erected houses and buildings. Manuel Llopis de Casades left a will one month before dying which handed over possession and management of all his properties in the Sitges territory to the Hospital de Saint Juan Bautista de Sitges (a religious charitable institution) on the condition that they continue production of Sitges Malvasia from the Llopis vines.

And so today people still enjoy this delicious wine. Be sure to try and get a glass if you can find it… and if you can lay your hands on a bottle even better! A must for every liquor cabinet. The wine is so famous that even the 5 Star Dolce Sitges Hotel named their main bar after it… so we recommend you spend an evening there and sip a glass while you take in some spectacular sunsets.

When visiting Sitges, it is important to remember that a lot of people choose to stay in Self Catering Apartments or Villas. These offer more flexibility, privacy and often times more comfort than hotels, especially if you are travelling in a group.

Every now and then you get a shot of something lovely… and we're not talking scenery shots here! Over the past few weeks we've been out and about and have grabbed some rather cute shots of some nice boys. Suffice it to say there is no shortage of nice things to look at in Sitges and we thought we'd share some with you…

And before you ask, we have no idea if these boys have girlfriends or boyfriends….

Taken at the end of November, when the weather was still hitting 24 degrees… this boy was on his way home from and was just a little too hot!

These guys were happy to pose near Picnic restaurant last weekend. On holidays from the big apple!

Looking intense on his way to the supermarket… ahhh..

Vilanova is only a 15 minute drive away from Sitges, but sometimes its weather can be completely different. Sitges really is blessed with a climate all of its own. The clouds and the sunlight on the evening of Dec 1st made for some spectacular shots! Most were taken using a long-exposure with a Canon SLR.

The beaches were empty…

The night sky was amazing…

Just like Sitges…. they love dogs here too!

As the night progressed.. the sea got quite rough..

Don't worry, these boys aren't up to anything… they were fishing… but boy did it look cold!
