European insider
by Melissa Petri on January 26, 2006
A complete vacation package booked through your travel agent or favorite online travel portal is just not enough to prepare you for a nice vacation. I've always believed in doing a bit more research. There could be hidden treasures waiting to be found, should you walk a few more steps past that tourist trap. And more often than not, these insider information are not mentioned in that colorful catalogues you have on hand.
One great, imho, source of first-hand information is BootsNAll Travel.
Should you have the time, do take a few moments and browse through the site. Not only are the stories entertaining but it could also give you the information you might just need to see that hidden treasure or to avoid that tourist trap.
One great example is the essay written by Justin Peters, Beware of Brits Bearing Drinks. An interesting, funny account of what might await you should you decide to visit Sitges, Spain.
Check out BootsnAll and find the ultimate boot.

"The words "Mediterranean beach" have launched a thousand American adolescent male fantasies. We saw brilliant blue water and crisp beaches covered with scores of gently heaving mounds of, um, mounds.
My friend James and I arrived in the Spanish resort town of Sitges well past physical, if not mental, adolescence.
But most of the young beach goers were dressed modestly and there wasn't the mass display of youthful flesh our adolescent minds had invented. The sad truth of the Mediterranean beach is that youth and beauty seem to be synonymous with modesty and shame, which only disappear once one has become middle-aged and German."

Nice find Melissa. Justin Peters and his friend should visit the Greek isles during French school holidays. Youthful, beautiful and shamelessly dressed.
