Apartments for True Geeks
Barcelona is putting on its superhero costume from April 16th to 19th to welcome the 33rd International Comic Fair at Fira Barcelona Montjuïc. The weekend will see the city turn into a comic mecca, and a big entourage of fans of the comic book and graphic novel world will use their superpowers to take over the Catalonian capital. This edition of the fair will be attended by artists and illustrators of international renown, and will pay tribute, by means of two monographic exhibitions, to two of the most relevant characters in the history of comics, the Joker and Captain America, both of which turn 75 in 2015. If you publicly admit to being a comic fiend; if you secretly dream about becoming a superhero; or if you respond to the call of geek as if you’d just heard your own name- we have the perfect accommodation for you. Apartments for true geeks. They all look like they just popped out of the pages of a comic book!

The Balearic Islands vs. the Greek Islands… Which do you prefer?
The beaches of the popular Greek Islands have nothing on those of the Balearic Islands. White sand coves and crystal-clear turquoise waters hide in the little nooks and crannies of Mallorca, Menorca, Formentera, Ibiza and the islet of Cabrera. In this post we’ll try to match some of the best Balearic beaches to their Greek counterparts. Because both share an essential element: the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Cemetery Tourism in Paris
Cemetery tourism is another form of tourism. I propose a walk through history in the Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, the most visited cemetery in the world; a visit to the Alma Bridge, where Diana and Dodi Al-Fayet were killed in a traffic accident; and, of course, I recommend you go to the Pantheon of Napoleon.

Father’s Day: The Perfect Day for the Perfect Father

In the United States, India, France, South Africa, Malaysia, China and many countries in South America, it’s always on the third Sunday of June. Yet it reaches the second Sunday of November in Finland, Estonia, Norway, Sweden and Iceland and even the December 5 in Thailand. In Spain, Italy, Portugal, Tunisia, Switzerland and Albania it’s March 19. Whatever your country, with the passing of the years and many poems and songs, we find it more and more difficult to come up with original ideas to surprise our father. We have an idea that you are certain to like but more importantly, so will he. Our idea is very simple: organize the perfect day for the perfect father. How? Keep reading.
