Sitges travel guide & transfers
Seventeen beaches, white streets and Barcelona 30 minutes away
About Sitges
Sitges is the elegant, easy-going alternative to staying in the city. Seventeen beaches line a compact old town of white houses and modernist mansions built by returning Cuba merchants. It is famously welcoming, hosts one of Europe's biggest Carnivals and the world's leading fantasy film festival, and is only half an hour from Barcelona airport.
