Here you can find out more about my apartment for rent as well as useful links to others sites about Sitges, Barcelona and the surrounding area.

Bohemian Sitges is one of the jewels in Spain's crown. Just 30 minutes down the coast by train from the Catalan capital, Barcelona, it nestles between the hills of the Garraf national park on a protected area of the coastline. The result is a unique microclimate which enjoys over 300 sunny days each year.

It has always been an exclusive, cosmopolitan resort where the rich and famous from Dali to Picasso and Lenny Kravitz to Jean-Paul Gaultier have chosen to frequent. As such, no large tour operators come here so it has maintained it's elite charm, Spanish culture and traditional housing. In fact it is popular with people from all over Europe, resulting in a wonderful eclectic mix, catering for every taste.

Sitges has many renowned restaurants, bars and clubs, ranging from the exclusive to the reasonable. It is also famous for it's many fiestas and events spread throughout the year, from the beautiful Corpus Christi flower festival in June, to the outrageous carnival in February and the spectular firework festival, the 'Fiesta Mayor', in August. It also boasts great sports facilities with an Olympic size swimming pool, tennis courts and golf courses all nearby.
