This contemporary hotel was recommended by crew who book this for their yacht's owners and guests taking part in the Puig Vela Clàssica Barcelona regatta. Compared to other European destinations and regattas, this hotel offers an impression of what Barcelona well known for – strong design and contemporary art. Hotels in France and Italy will ooze quintessential style, this place will give you splashes of bold colour and fantastic views of the racing from its 27 floors. Book here.

Sensi Tapas

Again, CYTV is giving you recommendations from those who've been sailing and racing out of Barcelona for years.

This Tapas was tipped off to us by a crew member who's half Spanish and also lived in the city for a number of years. He recommends this place and it happens to also be in good distance from the port of Barcelona. We also found the staff, very helpful and friendly. So for somewhere that's not going to cost the earth, this is a must-try after racing. Book here.

Marigold – Charter Yacht

Marigold is a beautiful 80ft classic gaff-rigged cutter magnificently restored and maintained. She was one of Charles Nicholson's first major designs built and launched in 1892.  Built primarily as a day racer, though down below she is beautifully finished in an authentic Victorian style. By day Marigold can accommodate up to twelve guests and three crew, for overnight stays she sleeps just 8 in total. MARIGOLD is ideal for Mediterranean yacht charters.

Marigold attracts attention wherever she goes and has been awarded "Concours D'Elegance" top prize for beauty. Book here.
