If coming from Barcelona city there is a direct train from Barcelona Sants/Sants Estació - approx. €5 (and Lemon Transfers is also approx. €50)
Accommodation:
We are staying on Carrer Nou
Sitges is mostly pedestrianised and everything is pretty much walking distance, so you can't go wrong (e.g. our apartment to the Sky Bar is a 10 min walk)
Tip: avoid the 'Parrots cross' (Plaça Indústria/Carrer Primer de Maig) if you want to sleep before 3am!
>staysitges.com< have good deals and we tend to use the >booking.com< app for ease
Drop me an email if you require suggestions
Beaches - facing the water:
Cala Balmins (clothing optional) is far-left past the church and beyond Vivero - and there is another beach further on past the Marina
Platja de Sant Sebastiá, on route to Balmins, is nice but a bit family-y - and good to know there is an all-day Farmacia at San Sebastian
Platja de la Ribera is the 'gay beach' in town (inclusive to all and not nude) - the beaches further on, to the right, are quieter until…
Playa del Hombre Muerto (about 45 min walk) - if you are feeling gayventurous :]
Matthew & I will be in Sitges Sunday 18th to Sunday 25th
