Sitges, Spain

Located about 35 km south of Barcelona, Sitges is a small but very popular summer gay holiday destination. With a long and beautiful sandy beach and many gay bars and clubs, Sitges should be on the list of any gay or lesbian person's holiday destinations.

Sitges - Top Seven Tips:

1. Go in the Summer time, Sitges is at it's best during the summer.

2. Travelling from Barcelona Airport to Sitges can be tricky. The train system is not brilliant and you have to change stations. The bus takes about an hour. A taxi transfer will cost anywhere between 50 and 70 Euro.

3. Most bars get busy everyday from about midnight onwards.

4. Because of it's small size you can walk anywhere in Sitges. No need to worry about transport within the town.

5. Drinks can be expensive. Many bars have happy hours where you buy one drink and get one 'free'.

6. Most restaurants in Sitges stop serving food by 10pm, therefore make sure you go out for food before 10pm as it is difficult to find anywhere selling food after this time.

7. Although there is a 'circuit' where people go from bar to bar, in our experience it is just as good to find a bar you like and wait for it to get busy.
