Travels in Spain

Sitges is a beautiful seaside town just 35km south of Barcelona in Spain. There is plenty to see and do in this diverse town from sunbathing to cultural visits and sampling the local cuisine. No two months are the same in Sitges with each one characterized by diverse cultural activities, fiestas and other events. You can be sure of a good time in Stiges whatever time of year you visit.

A gala was held in Palma to honour all of the Balearic Islands’ Olympic medal winners. Being the newest Olympic tennis champion meant of course Nadal (who also won Wimbledon earlier in the year) was in attendance. During a routine photo shoot the inner seams of his trousers suddenly burst open much to the amusement of all those around him. Fortunatley Nadal too saw the funny side, and hastily tied his jacket around his waste to preserve his modesty.

The Balearic Port Authority has agreed to the installation of almost 1000 new moorings within the ports and marinas that it currently oversees across the Balearic islands.

The aim of the new births is to ensure that the cases of illegal moorings are reduced which only serve to have a negative effect on the environment by damaging local flora and fauna. There have been many reports of illegal births throughout the region over the past few months and these new measures are hoped to stamp this out once and for all.
