Things to do in and around Sitges
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012The Sitges Experience
International Outlook – Local Charm
Visit Sitges to experience the warmth of Spain, Fiesta spirit and the relaxed calm of the Mediterranean.
An undeveloped, unspoilt, seaside town, Sitges stretches out along two white sandy bays edged with palm lined promenades. The nine beaches, each with their own character, are known as the Golden Shores of the Costa Dorada.
The old city buildings cluster around the town’s famous 17th century church of Sant Bartomeu. The three Museums are a must-see; stroll through the beautiful architecture, listen to local musical performances or admire the works of Rusiñol, Picasso and El Greco.
The birthplace of the Spanish Modernist movement, the town has a reputation for its liberal and artistic attitudes. There are secluded nudist beaches and it is a favourite international gay destination.
A night out in Sitges offers bars and clubs for the party animals, or exceptional restaurants and relaxation for those who really want to unwind.
