Sitges is a small town in the province of Barcelona, about 40 kilometers south west of the city 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 July and August the town is taken over by families and the streets are packed. In September the families disappear and the presence of gay tourism can be felt again.
Sitges is reknowned worldwide for its film festival and Carnival.
