Sitges

Sitges is a small town about 75 kilometers south of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain. Between the hills and the sea, it is known for its much-frequented beaches, nightspots, and historical sites. Very much a gay tourist town in the summer, Sitges offers a varied and dynamic cultural oasis, and provides a contrast from Barcelona. However, in August the town is taken over by families and the streets are packed 24/7. In September the families disappear and the presence of gay tourism can be felt again.
