Sitges ? former fishing village turned to summer hot spot
Sitges is located 40 km south of Barcelona on the Costa Dorada and the perfect place to spend holidays in a Costa Dorada accommodation.
The former fishing village conserved its certain charm with its narrow streets and pleasing houses although it was established as a holiday town in the 1960s. Especially in the summer it is very crowded. Due to the great nightlife Sitges is sometimes also called ?Barcelona-on-sea?. The wonderful beaches attract most people who come to Sitges in the summer and spend their holidays in one of the Sitges Apartments or Sitges Hotels. Along the seaside there is a long promenade ? Passeig MaritÃm ? that invites you to have a rest in one of the many beach bars and restaurants or to enjoy one of the water sport facilities.
But besides the beach and the sea Sitges has a lot to offer. The Baroque parish church ?La Punta? is located on top of a little plateau and offers a wonderful view over the sea. There are also a couple of museums in Sitges that invite you on a rainy day. Sitges is also known for the International Film Festival, which takes place every year between October and November, and for the Carnival, which is celebrated between February and March.
Sitges is the perfect place at the Costa Dorada to spend your holidays. With its location only 40 km south of Barcelona it offers many alternatives.
So don?t hesitate and book your Sitges accommodation for next summer and spend an unforgettable stay at Costa Dorada!
