The Enchantments of Mas De Torrent in Catalonia’s Baix Emporda

by Lillian Africano, Myrna Katz Frommer, and Harvey Frommer

It’s a straight shot out of Barcelona heading north towards France along the AP-7, through the heart of northern Catalonia, one of the oldest and most beautiful sections of Europe. To the west and north, the Pyrenees rise, deep and green; to the east, the beaches and coves of Costa Brava look out to the [...]

ELBOW BEACH BERMUDA: REDUX AND ANEW Part Two

by Myrna Katz Frommer and Harvey Frommer

While there may be fewer dining than spa-treatments options at Elbow Beach, the four outlets provide enough variety in cuisine and ambience to keep one happy and sated for many a day without ever leaving the resort.

ELBOW BEACH BERMUDA: REDUX AND ANEW  Part One

ELBOW BEACH BERMUDA: REDUX AND ANEW Part One

by Myrna Katz Frommer and Harvey Frommer

Keeping the Miracle in Mind at Tel Aviv’s Sheraton Hotel & Towers

Keeping the Miracle in Mind at Tel Aviv’s Sheraton Hotel & Towers

by Harvey Frommer and Myrna Katz Frommer

There is a Frenchman at the helm of the Sheraton Tel Aviv, and he fits it (to coin a cliché) like a glove. The elegant Jean-Louis Ripoche was born in Paris, his family comes from the Loire Valley, and he brings to the property an élan and savoir faire bred of his Gallic roots. At [...]
