I’ll See your Blackpool and Raise You My Costa Brava



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! 

Make Sure you are Welcomed on your Stag Do


There is nothing worse than feeling like you are not welcome somewhere. What’s more, feeling unwelcome when you are on a stag do is even worse and can lead to problems for the party and local residents. The reason why I say this is because I have just read that in Edinburgh the police are clamping down on flats that are specifically being used by groups of stags and hens after complaints from local residents.

Respecting the wishes of locals if you are an outsider visiting the area is vitally important. One way to make sure this is the case is to enjoy a stag weekend in Spain, organised by me, Aunty Andrea. I’ll promise that you will be welcomed with open arms and anyway, I’ll be whisking you off to some specifically designed places where stags parties are actively encouraged to go. From stag jet skiing in the day time to a Lloret bar crawl in the evening, you will never hear any complaints. If you do, I’ll soon sort them out for you!
I have been running stag weekends in Spain for many years, established good relationships with bar owners and day time activity specialists. Whatever you want, I’ll cater for. 

So do not burden the quiet back streets of Edinburgh on one of the happiest weekends of your life. Come to Spain’s Costa Brava for a warm welcome, warm sun, warm seas and cold drinks – all provided by me!
