Sitges
Few resorts can boast the privileges of Sitges: a breathtaking landscape, seventeen golden beaches that
stretch along 4 kilometres, a full and varied cultural life throughout the year and a busy festive
calendar.
Unlike many other Spanish coastal resorts Sitges has managed to retain a sense of history and charm,
and the legacy of the artists who 'discovered' the town in the mid-19th Century is all-pervasive.
If you have a couple of hours to spare you could do worse than explore Sitges' architectural heritage -
the parish church, the Maricel Palace, the many 'American' houses (named after their owners who emigrated
to Cuba in the 19th Century), and the town's museums.

Barcelona
In spite of being only half an hour away by train or car, many visitors to Sitges never set foot out of
town to visit the provincial capital of Barcelona, arguably the most exciting, cosmopolitan and culturally
vibrant city in Spain.
There are far too many highlights to mention here, but amongst the wide range of attractions to visit on
a day trip to Barcelona are the Ramblas, the works of Gaudi, the parks at Montjuļc and Tibidabo and the
Picasso Museum.

Time Out Barcelona
website which lists places of interest and monthly events, together with practical information.
