Sitges can be described as a petit city located in Catalan, Catalonia, Spain. It’s situated at a distance of 35 Km on the southwestern side of Barcelona. Between the sea and hills, it’s known for nightspots, historical sites, and much-frequented beaches.
While roots of artsy reputation of Sitges would take one back to late nineteenth century, the period between 1960 and 1970 was marked as evolution of aesthetic Sitges. This recognition can be credited to Santiago Rusinol, who went on to come and stay over here at the time of summer. Sitges also came to be known as ‘Ibiza in miniature’. Today this place can be regarded as one of the dynamic cultural oases; as its economy is based on culture and tourism.
This can be evident from the fact that Sitges offers around 4500 hotel-beds, that too with 50% of them within 4-star hotels. The most interesting fact about Sitges is that it’s a ‘gay tourist town’ as well. In July-August, lesbians and gay men pay visits to Sitges as ‘one of the most popular gay holiday spots in Europe’.
Culture depicts dissemination of ‘Americanos’ and ‘Modernism’.
Sitges enjoys the reputation of having nearly 300 days/year.
Early autumn and late spring would prove to be the best period to visit Sitges.
