This week

Across the network, what is on the wire.

No events on the wire this week. Lisbon moves in its own time.

Where our editors go

One venue per city, if you asked us where to eat tomorrow.

  1. Ibiza — San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany)

    Amistat Island Hostel Ibiza

    San Antonio's social hostel — an outdoor pool, a daily events board, and the sunset strip a ten-minute walk from the door.

Start with a full week

Flagship itineraries. One for each city in the network.

Who writes Citorah

We do not write about cities we do not live in. Here is who is writing what.

  • Jordan

    63 guides

    Jordan is the writer and operator behind the 2026 city network. He spends most of his year between Leeds and the Mediterranean — Ibiza, Mykonos, Madrid, the Algarve — writing about what locals actually do once the tourists have gone home.

Editorial standards. We do not accept paid placements in editorial rankings. Affiliate links are disclosed on every guide that carries them.

Corrections. If a venue closes, a menu changes, or an opinion ages badly, we update the guide and log the change at the foot of the article.

Common questions

Opinionated guides that also book. Here is what that means.

Do you take money from the places you cover?

No. We do not accept paid placements in editorial rankings, no venue pays to be recommended, and no restaurant, club or hotel has editorial approval over what we write. When a guide carries an affiliate link (event tickets, an eSIM, insurance), it is disclosed in the footer of that guide. If we ever went the other way, we would tell you first.

Who actually writes this?

Writers held to one standard, with real specifics rather than filler. Every guide is bylined; the writers block above is the full list. If you cannot see a name on a guide, we did not publish it.

Do you review the places yourselves?

Yes. Every recommendation is a place the writer has eaten at, drunk at, danced in or stayed in. When a venue closes or slips, we update the guide and log the change at the foot of the article. Anything research-led rather than lived-in is flagged as such at the top of the guide.

Why only 8 cities?

Because we would rather write 8 cities well than seventy poorly. Cannes, Marbella, Nice, Manchester and Morocco are on the shortlist; they land when they can be written to our standard, not a moment sooner.

Is this a booking engine?

No. Citorah is an editorial. We do not sell hotel rooms, we do not resell tickets, and we do not aggregate a hundred inventory sources to skim a margin off the top. When a guide points you at a specific venue or event, you book it direct with the operator.

Postcards from the city

One email a week. What is worth eating, drinking, and doing across the network.

Written by whoever is closest to the story. Sent Fridays. Unsubscribe in one click, no hard feelings.

More destinations arrive when we can cover them to the standard. Cannes, Marbella, Nice, Manchester, Morocco, on deck, not on the map until they earn it.
