Bro, wait till you hear what a British expert cooked up! One Rob Brooks from On The Beach agency discovered the 'Barcelona of Eastern Europe'. And it's not here, no, it's in Poland, in Sopot, on the Baltic Sea. He says it's half the price of Barcelona, two hours flight from England and perfect for families. I crossed myself when I heard it, I thought: 'Look at these guys, always looking for bargains, just like me at Lidl with Mioara.'
Now listen up what he says: huge golden sand beach, bars and restaurants on the shore, colorful streets, beautiful architecture, luxury hotels and a pier stretching into the sea. Summer temperatures up to 26 degrees, and it's not crowded like Barcelona. He says he's seen a rise in searches and it won't stay secret for long. For real, bro, I feel like taking the BMW and driving there, but it's kinda far.
Sopot is a 19th-century resort, 20 minutes by train from Gdansk. The official site says it's 'one of the most charming places in Poland'. And tourists confirm: 'wonderful place', 'superb city', 'moderate prices'. Well, it's nice here too, but at these prices, you'd rather go to Poland than to Mamaia, where a soda is 40 lei!
So, rest assured, if you want luxury at half the price, now you know where. I'm going to tell Mioara to pack our bags, but I'm afraid mother-in-law Veta will want to come too with her bags for pickles. Until then, let's go to Fane's terrace for a beer and dream of that golden sand beach!
