SITGES, BARCELONA

The beautiful town of Sitges, situated on the southwest edge of the great city that is Barcelona, has long had an arty reputation! Today it has a thriving cosmopolitan artistic community and an internationally famous Carnaval and Film Festival. Recently it has become home to the Institute of the Arts Barcelona.

For many years Sitges has been a major gay destination but it also attracts a much wider populace attracted by its climate, beaches, history and remarkably unspoilt nature. Nestling between the mountains and the sea Sitges has a microclimate giving it 300 days of sunshine a year with very little rain.

The town is well served by transport links being close to Barcelona Airport and with a regular train service (4 trains an hour, journey time 25 minutes) to the very centre of the city.
