•    Hit the beach

Sitges is Europe’s gay capital and, only 20 minutes from Barcelona, it’s an excellent place to spend a couple of days partying and sunbathing or just whiling away an afternoon on the beach or walking around this small beach town.

•    Try some tasty tapas

You can’t come to Spain and not try tapas! Barcelona has hundreds of restaurants to choose from. Find one with an outdoor terrace and people watch while tucking in to some patatas bravas and pan con tomate.

•    Hit the Slopes

Although located by the beach, the Pyrenees are only a stone’s throw from Barcelona. If visiting in winter, head up to the slopes and try skiing – not so great? No problem, hire a handsome instructor for a couple of hours and brush up on your technique.

Get out of town for a weekend. Go north to the beautiful beaches of the Costa Brava, along the northeastern coast of Spain, and be amazed by the breath taking views and clear blue seas along the spectacular mountainous coastline.
