The antique town of Sitges is the perfect backdrop for a day in paradise. You can take a train for this Barcelona trip and be on the Sitges beaches in less than an hour.
Sitges is one of the prettiest little towns you will find in Cataluna. There is an active calendar all year round, including the world-famous Sitges Festival. But the town is just as special when there are no events on, as this is the ideal time to soak up life on the beaches, spend a lazy afternoon at a restaurant, or wander through the pebbled streets and laneways looking at the boutique shops.
Everyone knows that gays have great taste! So it is little wonder that the town has a favorite gay Sitges beach, several gay bars open from the afternoon, and venues and clubs open at nights. This makes for a welcoming and accepting atmosphere for anyone visiting Sitges, and there is a feeling of warmth, friendship and community for all visitors.
With 17 Sitges beaches scattered up and down the little coastline, you can often find your own little beach getaway, even during the busier summer season as most people stick to the more popular beach areas. The water stays warm from April until October.
Sitges has an exciting annual calendar of events including Carnival in March and a flower festival in June, while the Sitges International Film Festival in October is considered the leading fantasy film event in the world, with international guests often headlining.
