In 2008, 10 million people visited Blackpool, making it the UK’s most popular seaside destination. Amongst the families and old couples who enjoy the promenade and donkey rides are hoards of boozed up Brits on stag weekends throughout most of the year. From casinos to strip clubs, Blackpool has a bit of a reputation as a party town. But if it is a true stag weekend with a difference that you are after, Blackpool simply cannot compete with a Costa Brava stag weekend organised by me, Aunty Andrea.
Blackpool has its famous tower, famous beach and famous pier. Fair enough. But does this really mean anything to the average stag party, especially if the weekend is cold and miserable? Of course it doesn’t, what really matters is knowing that there is a range of fun activities and buzzing bar crawls to choose from, all under a blazing hot sun. Blackpool beach is nice, but can you do stag scuba diving off of it? No. Can you do stag cave swimming? Nope. Guess where you can do these activities? That’s right, over here in the warm Mediterranean waters off the Costa Brava!
I’m not in the business of talking down our traditional seaside towns. There are great places for a weekend away. But for a stag weekend away, you cannot beat the Costa Brava. Simply tell me what you want to do whilst you are here and I’ll make sure the weekend goes with a bang!
