A/c will be important for the Summer but for Easter then enjoying the sun and beach is waiting for you – book now and enjoy a relaxing and reviving few days.

The town will be busy, despite “the crisis” and the bars and beaches too.
Come and share and enjoy.

Pleasant company, great wines, good golf, good fun and relaxation in one of the Med’s favourite resort locations.

International Outlook – Local Charm

Visit Sitges to experience the warmth of Spain, Fiesta spirit and the relaxed calm of the Mediterranean.

An undeveloped, unspoilt, seaside town, Sitges stretches out along two white sandy bays edged with palm lined promenades. The nine beaches, each with their own character, are known as the Golden Shores of the Costa Dorada.

The old city buildings cluster around the town’s famous 17th century church of Sant Bartomeu. The three Museums are a must-see; stroll through the beautiful architecture, listen to local musical performances or admire the works of Rusiñol, Picasso and El Greco.

The birthplace of the Spanish Modernist movement, the town has a reputation for its liberal and artistic attitudes. There are secluded nudist beaches and it is a favourite international gay destination.

A night out in Sitges offers bars and clubs for the party animals, or exceptional restaurants and relaxation for those who really want to unwind.

From Sitges – explore the delights of Catalunya:

• Barcelona – A half-hour drive or by train.
• The Penedes wine region – The centuries-old Torres vineyards.
• The Caves of Cava – The vineyards of Cordonui and Freixenet.
• Monasteries of Monsterrat and Poblet.
• Tarragona – The ancient Roman capital of Spain.
• Universal Studios Adventure Park at Port Aventura.
Golf, walking, trekking etc

Arriving in a hotel in Dublin, he went to the bar and asked for a pint of draught Guinness. The barman nodded and said, “That will be one Euro please, Mr. O’Leary.”

Somewhat taken aback, O’Leary replied, “That’s very cheap,” and handed over his money.

“Well, we try to stay ahead of the competition”, said the barman. “And we are serving free pints every Wednesday evening from 6 until 8. We have the cheapest beer in Ireland”

“That is remarkable value” Michael comments

“I see you don’t seem to have a glass, so you’ll probably need one of ours. That will be 3 euro please.”

O’Leary scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat.

“Ah, you want to sit down?” said the barman. “That’ll be an extra 2 euro. -

You could have pre-book the seat, and it would have only cost you a Euro.”

“I think you may to be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please”

Michael attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can’t squeeze in

he complains “Nobody would fit in that little frame”.

“I’m afraid if you can’t fit in the frame you’ll have to pay an extra surcharge of €4.00 for your seat sir”

O’Leary swore to himself, but paid up. “I see that you have brought your laptop with you” added the barman. “And since that wasn’t pre-booked either, that will be another 3 euro.”

O’Leary was so annoyed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, “This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager”.

“Ah, I see you want to use the counter,” says the barman, “that will be 2 euro please.”

O’Leary’s face was red with rage.
“Do you know who I am?”

“Of course I do Mr. O’Leary,”

“I’ve had enough, What sort of Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!”

“Here is his E mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9 and 9.10 every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only 10 cent per second”

“I will never use this bar again”

“OK sir, but remember, we are the only hotel in Ireland selling pints for one Euro”.
