Brooks Nader: 2023 Sports Illustrated SwimSuit Cover

Sports Illustrated got it again after many years of middling covers. American model Brooks Nader is one of the best Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Covers ever as the following picture proves:

BROOKS NADER 2023 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED

Brooks Nader Sports Illustrated

We strongly hope Sports Illustrated keeps its historical way otherwise this American magazine will lose appeal in Europe where this kind of sports magazines abound.

Other international models such as Brooks Nader who could be a perfect cover model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition could be for instance: Joy Van der Eecken (Belgium), Bianca Balti (Italy), Cindy Bruna (France), Elsa Hosk (Sweden) or Grace Elizabeth (United States of America).

"Yes, Sir I Can Boogie" By Baccara: the Unofficial Hymn of Scottish National Team

Got used to being ignored if compared to Pross (English team) Scottish national football team has found a particular way to celebrate their wins.

The song they use is a classic one: Yes, Sir I can boogie particularly well known by foreign audiences all across the world Spain aside, even though their authors Baccara is a Spanish duo who in fact have appeared on Eurovision representing other countries as Spain has always been investing in middling artists to play there, something even more visible in the last 20 years when even ordinary people were converted in professional artists due to a peculiar reality tv programme: Operación Triunfo

Anyway, the Scottish national team will be at the next 2024 Euro Cup and this is the way they sing this famous song at the dressing rooms.

But not only the Scottish national team has adapted this hit by Baccara, international music artists such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor or The Fratellis have done it likewise:

SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR YES SIR I CAN BOOGIE

and without going any further, Baccara themselves were invited to perform it at the last annual Etam fashion show in Paris to render Yes Sir I can boogie live as you can see now (it is featured at the third position more or less)

My Experience At "Hotel La City Mercado" In Alicante, Spain

Unless you ought to send an employee with whom you do not get on really well and besides you want to save money for your enterprise, I shall not recommend Hotel La City Mercado Alicante albeit if you book a double room it is not so bad but the individual room is so small you feel incarcerated.

READ THIS IN SPANISH

Mi Experiencia en el Hotel La City Mercado Alicante

Alicante

In fact, I do not remember being ever in a hotel so small and even though I later on, I got used to it at the beginning this feeling was so huge I felt trapped and I can say I have been to plenty of small hotels and small hotels rooms similarly but here, the feeling was even greater given how it has been built.

Even though the situation of this hotel is positive insofar as it is situated just in the city centre of Alicante, near the statue my picture depicts and near the Castle of Santa Barbara and the local and historical Abastos food market this La City Mercado hotel is so tiny it is preferable to find another one if I am ever going to be back to Alicante.

In the following videos, you are able to see some videos of this hotel in Alicante. There is another hotel with bears the same name close to the AVE train station.

Without going any further, the breakfast of this Alicante hotel is so basic, that you may prefer having breakfast directly at the local market that is so close to this Hotel La City Mercado Alicante

Holidays In Marbella, South Of Andalucia, Spain

"Cuando la virgen canta por sevillanas

las estrellas del cielo tocan las palmas

¡Ay madre mía!

¡Tú eres lo más bonito de Andalucía!"

Poem I read in Marbella

HOLIDAYS IN MARBELLA

I enjoyed some days holidaying in Marbella, south of Andalucia, Spain at the end of the last month of June. We travelled from Zaragoza to Málaga by AVE (Spanish Fast Train).

Even though I did not find this Hotel at which we stayed outstanding at first, the truth is I did have one of my best holidays ever. Indeed, I strongly recommend it to everybody and if you want to know more follow this link insofar as I wrote something about this hotel:

Vacaciones En Marbella: Hotel El Rodeo Marbella

Holidays Marbella

These have been remarkable days. I visited Puerto Banús while travelling with my school when I was little but I was accompanied by some of the worst people I have ever met above all a pathetic heir of a pathetic empire who came from a stupid small town named Torrellas from my county in Northern Spain.

Moreover, this was a small trip arranged by my religious school hence I did not have a great time to say the truth.

This time though, the experience was full of magic but at that trip we were in different places (Córdoba, Seville or Granada) and on this occasion, I have spent days only in Marbella. However, I did want to visit this Puerto Banús but I was 7 kilometres far from it thereby we did not go there.

As a matter of fact, I did have some wonderful days I forgot about Puerto Banús. Indeed, Marbella is such a great destination and the beaches were so beautiful I even had a Thai massage for the first time in my life. It was really strange as they used their knees but even though at first It hurt a little bit, I subsequently felt it was a great experience.

Now you can discover some videos of the beaches of Marbella
