Easter Week in Sitges is one of the most special times of the year—a celebration where tradition, culture, and the unique Mediterranean atmosphere come together to create an unforgettable experience.
The week begins with Palm Sunday, marked by the traditional blessing of palms and branches across the town. The largest gathering takes place in Plaça de l’Ajuntament, followed by a mass at the iconic Parish Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla. It’s a cherished moment when families and visitors come together to welcome this meaningful week.
Throughout Easter Week, the churches of Sitges host various religious ceremonies. Highlights include the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday and the Passion of the Lord on Good Friday. But the most anticipated moment is the Solemn Procession of Silence—a moving nighttime procession through the old town. In a deep atmosphere of reflection, religious images are carried through candlelit streets, accompanied by silent brotherhoods and devoted followers. It’s an experience that touches everyone, regardless of faith.
On Holy Saturday, the town prepares for Easter with the Easter Vigil. Afterwards, traditional Caramelles—Catalan choral groups—fill the streets with joyful songs celebrating Christ’s Resurrection and the arrival of spring.
Easter in Sitges is also the perfect time to enjoy the town’s natural beauty. With the arrival of spring, beaches and terraces come to life, inviting you to relax under the sun and enjoy the sea breeze.
Beyond the religious events, Easter Week is a great opportunity to explore Sitges’ cultural and gastronomic delights. Visit local museums, take scenic seaside walks, and taste regional specialties like xató and fresh Mediterranean seafood.
Whether you’re here for the spiritual traditions, cultural experiences, or simply to enjoy the vibrant spring atmosphere, Easter Week in Sitges offers something truly special.
