Aptly named 37 Grill & Bar is set on the 37th floor of the Conrad Hotel, and overlooks the Han River and the Seoul skyline. The slick, dark wood-and-glass establishment is famed for its wide variety of beef, including cuts from Korea, Spain, Australia and the US. The menu is rounded out with a few seafood and pasta options, making 37 Grill & Bar a popular choice when one has overdosed on the kimchi. Thirsty? Snack on curried popcorn as you choose from a classic cocktail on the drinks menu, or a vino from the hundreds of choices on the wine list, including a 1994 bottle of Château Pétrus for a mere $8,000. Don’t forget to bring your gold card. 10 Gukjegeumyung-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul

Very few of the newer bars in San Sebastián hit the mark on ambience, food, drinks and service. Sirimiri, in the heart of the old part, does it all. The wooden beams make the narrow bar feel cozy, and the attentive young waitstaff draws a crowd, creating one of the Old Town’s buzziest atmospheres. The big draw is the cocktail list, which is ever-evolving and features about 50% vermouth-based cocktails. Not feeling a cocktail? Try a sweet, red vermouth on the rocks...it will take you an entire vacation to work your way through the list. The bar food is pintxo fusion at its best, from squid croquetas to pork buns.

Noventa Grados has been a stalwart in San Sebastián‘s haute couture scene for longer than any of the other ‘modern’ fashion boutiques. In the heart of the old town, it prides itself on an ever-changing, boundary-pushing shop display that proudly announces the new arrivals from the likes of Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, and Stella McCartney. When you enter the boutique, however, you pass first through a hair salon (one of the best in the city). Then you’ll glide through a section of makeup, perfumes, and sometimes even art before you get to the stairs that take you down to the designers. Keep your eyes and ears open in Noventa Grados as there’s always something to discover, both material and ephemeral: they often host hip cultural events within the store.

Because of its unique history and a remarkable number of religious monuments, Caravaca de la Cruz is considered a significant holy city by the Catholic Church. A tour of the city is best begun with a visit to the medieval Castle of Santa Cruz, once a Moorish stronghold and then the site of several convents and a church. Inside the castle’s church, the famous Caravaca Cross is said to have converted a Muslim ruler to Christianity in the 13th century, and is treasured by believers for its healing powers.

Less than an hour from Barcelona’s city center, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia is the perfect day trip for wine aficionados, particularly fans of cava, the sparkling wine from Catalonia.
