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!

Biergarten- Beer Festival in Barcelona
Once again this year in Barcelona’s Poble Espanyol, the German beer festival Biergarten will be taking place. From 6pm on April 30 in Poble Espanyol, you will have the chance to go to the most anticipated festival of the year- the German Beer Festival Biergarten. Biergarten is going to be in town for 1 weekend only, so make sure you don’t miss out. It’s a family affair since there are activities for everyone from midday until 2am and the best of all, it’s free entry. Biergarten translates to The Beer Garden in English and it originates from Baviera, Munich. The tradition started in the 19th century. When it is nice weather outside, everyone heads off to the old cobbled streets, main plazas and parks in Baviera where they’ll casually drink a few beers and eat lots of local food with their friends and family. And on April 30 for the weekend, you’ll have the chance to do the same right here in Barcelona. There’s something for everyone in Poble Espanyol’s Biergarten to get you into the German spirit. For the kids, they will be able to decorate cookies. The teens can chill out with their friends and listen to the traditional German and international music. The adults meanwhile can go and learn how to pull a real beer. Biergarten is slightly different to a regular beer festival in the sense that you don’t just get to taste new beers. Another reason to attend is that you will be able to taste local German food. Like a true German, there will be lots of different food to pick at throughout...
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.
