Għarb
Għarb ( mt, L-Għarb) is an administrative unit of Malta, located at the westernmost point of the island of Gozo, with a population of 1,539 people (as of March 2014). History Għarb started as a small hamlet which developed around the middle ages. The word ''Għarb'' is the Arabic word for ''West'', so it should be no surprise that the village is the most westerly place on Gozo. One can see its ancient roots in the centre of the village where some houses have fine examples of decorated stone balconies. Għarb was created as a parish in 1679, a move which gave impetus for the building of a new, baroque parish church. Built between 1699 and 1729, it has an elegant façade which has been compared with Francesco Borromini's Church of Saint Agnes in Piazza Navona, Rome. The village square, so quintessentially Gozitan, has become the view on many a postcard. On the square is a folklore museum housing all sorts of memorabilia retelling the Islands' rural history. Għarb lies in some ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Garbo (Puerto Vallarta)
Garbo (sometimes Piano Bar & Jazz Garbo) is a gay-friendly bar in Zona Romántica, Puerto Vallarta, in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Description Garbo has been described as a martini bar with live music and dim lighting. According to Fodor's, "This isn't necessarily the kind of place where you'll strike up a conversation with the guy on the next barstool; rather, it's an upscale place to go with friends for a sophisticated, air-conditioned drink or two. A musician plays piano or gentle jazz on weekend nights at 10:30 during high season, less often the rest of the year. Garbo, renowned for its martinis, is primarily a gay club, but is straight friendly and is open nightly from 6 pm to 2 am." Lonely Planet says, "If you enjoy jazzy stylings and like your martinis dirty or extra tart, make your way to this concrete-floor habitat. The jazz and torch singing kicks off nightly at 10:30pm and is decent to good, and there's a small dance floor to shake your moneymaker." Justin Henderson' ...
