Good bunch of twins there.
Also, Worthing has FOUR twin towns in Germany. What’s that all about? (apart from a big pool of towns for school exchange trips)
Fancy a bit of Barcelona?

Former, Pembroke
Pembroke is twinned with the towns of Bergen, Lower Saxony, Germany since 1977[16] and Pembroke, Malta since 2002.
Is that really Winchester’s soubriquet? Makes sense, but how grandiose do you want to be, Winch?
I’m genuinely really surprised that my hometown has any, apparently Leven is twinned with Holzminden in Germany and Bruges in France.
Haven’t been to either. Didn’t even know that there was a Bruges in France.
Bangor, ME is a twin city with Brewer, ME, just across the river. Obviously been there.
Also sister with Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada and Harbin, China, which has a population of 10 million, so Bangor have done well teaming up with those boys.
Yeovil has Herblay, France & Taunusstein, Germany & Samarate, Italy. No interesting facts about them.
Nottingham has a bunch. Many of which I’ve heard of.
That’s where I wanna go… way down in Kokomo
Whitwell in Rutland is twinned with Paris because the mayor of whitwell or someone wrote and asked Paris if it would be its twin, and no one wrote back saying no so they just went with it.
Apparently.
Bristol likes to put it about a bit
< Blockquote
Bristol was one of the first cities to adopt the idea of town twinning. In 1947 it was twinned with Bordeaux and then with Hanover, the first post-war twinning of British and German cities. Twinnings with Porto, Portugal (1984), Tbilisi, Georgia (1988), Puerto Morazan, Nicaragua (1989), Beira, Mozambique (1990) and Guangzhou, China (2001) have followed.
