Overview »

First discovered by the Modernists, (Picasso loved it here) then the Surrealists, Sitges is very much Barcelona's liitle sister. Liberal, relaxed and bohemian, Sitges retains its 19th and 20th century charm - you will not find Costa del Sol high rises here. Think white washed walls, cobbled streets and sandy beaches. Museums, small secret streets and the beautiful 3kilometre promenade which stretches over 9 beaches.

 A few pointers...just 20 minutes from Barcelona, Sitges was once a small fishing village which has always attracted the Barcelona well to do.  Cubanesque style mansions line the 3 kilometre long beach promenade, and fill some its smaller streets, a  testament to Sitges sugar trading history.

Modern uber cool houses face the Mediterranen on the southern tip of the town, where Barcelona´s football team reside, while in the northern tip, lie the small village style beaches of Sant Sebastian and the historic museums and churches of the Modernists.

Sitges Apartments

Sitges is officially the most expensive place to purchase proprty in Spain, hence, holiday accommodation is not cheap...but there is a lot of good quality accommodation around, most of it sold independently online.

Be warned, use a company you trust, check they have a registered office and have a legal status...this is your holiday and you want to enjoy it!
