Twenty miles along the craggy coast from Barcelona, the unspoilt seaside town of Sitges, with its style, culture and élan, instantly stands out from the overdeveloped resorts along the Costa Dorada.
Sitges is in a beautiful setting between the hills of the surrounding Natural Parc del Garraf and the Mediterranean Sea. The town is well known for its amazing golden sandy beaches, gastronomy, nightspots, golf courses, marinas and historical sites. It is a famous area for avant-garde art and houses many art galleries and museums, and is renowned worldwide for its Film Festival and Carnival.
A former fishing village with narrow streets, a compact old town and a mellow vibe, this is where rich Catalans come to tan. With miles of meticulously raked beaches, laid-back charm and a cosmopolitan heartbeat, it is a jet-set favourite, too. Sitges has a very exclusive feel, and it is known by many as the St. Tropez of Spain and the Crown Jewel of the Mediterranean.
Sitges is also a very international town. Almost 35% of its inhabitants are from the Netherlands, Great Britain, France and Scandinavia and many of their children attend the international schools. A major reason for the popularity of Sitges amongst foreign buyers is its proximity to Barcelona and its fair share of luxury real estate.
