“Just follow my flashlight,” the snorkel guide says as we wade into the warm, moonlit waters of Kaunaoa Beach. We’re heading for Manta Ray Point, a stone’s throw from the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in the north end of Hawaii Island, where a small squadron of reef manta rays apparently hangs out. Our group of six is instructed to encircle a little surfboard the guide has brought. A light, pointing down, is attached at a hole in the middle of the board.

I’m biting into what looks and feels like a cigar, but it’s actually phyllo pastry stuffed with sardine tartare, with sesame powder “ashes.” It’s served with a snifter of tomato water — the “brandy,” of course, to wash down my cigar. This offbeat pintxo is on the menu at Los Zagales, an award-winning tapas bar in the city of Valladolid.

RED Mountain is that inconspicuous yet top-level ski resort you didn’t know anything about – until now…By Doug WallaceMy room at The Josie Hotel is not yet ready, so I make my way to the Velvet Lounge – past tufted leather sofas, twig-laden chandeliers and bright red benches that resemble chairlifts. On my stool looking out to the slopes of RED Mountain Resort, I can see a string of cylindrical outdoor saunas that look mighty inviting.
