Sitges jewel of the Mediterranean
Sitges has many reasons to be considered a privileged place. A unique landscape, 17 beaches in 4 kilometres protected by the Garraf massif, an intense cultural and festive calendar, top quality tourist infrastructures, and a special luminosity, all make of Sitges an attractive town that enjoys international prestige.
It’s singular microclimate – more than 300 days of sunshine a year – and excellent location (15 minutes from the airport and 20 from the city of Barcelona) make it one of the most agreeable places on the Mediterranean. Here it is possible to find peace and tranquillity and enjoy its cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Sitges has been a pioneer in tourism and is part of the prestigious club “jewels of the Mediterranean” which is a distinction given to 8 locations on the continent that are distinguished for the quality of their infrastructures and services and for their beautiful landscape.
The European Union awards the blue flag for the quality of services on the beaches and for its clean waters.
Sport and ecotourism A stay in Sitges is anything but boring. There is a wide offer of complementary services of all kinds: sports, cultural, etc. of a high standard. The natural Park of the Garraf massif has 10,000 hectares and offers acres to the rural areas. Its contrasting landscape extends from forested areas to barren craggy mountains.
Sitges offers a wide possibility for practising sport: sailing, water skiing, snorkelling or scuba diving, windsurf, beach volley, aquagym, and also golf, tennis, horse riding and many other possibilities.
