<\/a>\n<\/p>\nSitges: a charming old town<\/h2>\n
\nBeaches aren’t the only thing Sitges has to offer! The historic part of the town is a lovely place to explore. The area around the town hall and the church of Sant Bartolomeu are particularly charming, with little streets overlooking the Mediterranean. The whitewashed buildings create a very different feel to the grandiose edifices of Barcelona.<\/p>\n
Sitges also has its fair share of handsome neoclassical and art nouveau buildings, bilt between 1859 and 1930. See if you can spot them!<\/p>\n

Restaurants, cafés and beach bars in Sitges<\/h2>\n
\nThere are plenty of places to eat in Sitges, with restaurants, cafés and bars scattered all over the town. The style is generally sophisticated and extremely pleasant.<\/p>\n
Whilst Sitges is smaller and less well-known than Barcelona, it’s a hip holiday destination, and is also one of the gay capitals of Europe. You’ll find lots of holiday-makers on the beaches, and the prices are much the same as in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
During the sumer, bars spring up on the beach itself, serving drinks and snacks. The Alberto Beach Club is the best-known.<\/p>\n

Social life in Sitges<\/h2>\n
Nightlife<\/h3>\n
\nIn the high season (June to September), the nightlife in Sitges extremely vibrant. The first ever Pacha club started out here, after all! Start off the evening on the Carrer del Pecado or at the Port d’Aiguadolç, then see where the night takes you…\n<\/p>\n
Sitges gay capital<\/h2>\n
\nSitges is also known across Europe as a gay lifestyle hub, so there are a fair few LGBT venues, although the town isn’t exclusively focused on this community, and you’ll find events of all different sorts.\n<\/p>\n
Sitges Gay Pride and carnival<\/h2>\n
Sitges Gay Pride<\/h3>\n
\nSitges wouldn’t be Sitges without its Gay Pride festival! The town practically disappears beneath a sea of rainbow flags during the parade, and the festival, with its cheeky, cosmopolitan vibe, lasts for four days. The 2019 edition will be held from 1st to 10th June.\n<\/p>\n
Sitges Carnival<\/h3>\n
\nThe Sitges Carnival<\/a>, held every February, is a must. The celebration goes on for several days, with many different activities for families, children and party-goers.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nWe stayed at this modernist hotel and it was a great experience. This modernist building is very charming and it’s located in a privileged place in the historic centre of Sitges.<\/p>\n
