This charming seaside town has been attracting visitors for more than a century often drawn by the town’s reputation as a hotbed of avant garde art. Today this pretty little corner of the Costa Dorada retains some of its bohemian atmosphere. As a result, while it’s got the sun, sea and sand, it’s a little more exclusive than some others along this stretch of coastline.

The focal point of the resort is the pretty, palm-lined promenade, with its cute little tapas bars and seafront restaurants, where the main pastime is people watching. Most tourists to Sitges are looking fo relaxation but if you fancy a livelier atmosphere, Barcelona is just down the road. One of Spain’s most stylish cities, it’s packed full of shops, stylish architecture, bars and restaurants.
