Christmas is a very important time of the year for the little ones in the house. This beloved holiday bring to them an irreplaceable feeling, and you have to make sure that they live it in the most incredible and unforgettable way, so they can keep it as a precious memory forever.

Sitges keep that in mind, and for Christmas, the city is full of Christmas activities for the little (and not that little) ones in the house. For example the most important are the following ones:

– The Christmas Cribs: They are a unique and exclusive part of Christmas, and this year in Sitges, we will be able to enjoy a large multitude of amazing Cribs. The most important and unmissable ones will be the “Inauguration of the Christmas” in the Miramar Building, which will contain an original manger with municipal figures by the artist Muns, and “the general tour of the most important Christmas Nativity scenes”.

– The “Tió”. The christmas pet: This is the most iconic character of Christmas exclusively in Catalonia. For those who do not know the tradition, every December all the houses around the country are filled with a trunk that “comes to life”, and leaves gifts to the children during the early morning while they are sleeping.

The most important events in Sitges with this protagonist, are the so-called “My first Tió”, where the mayor delivers these characters to the newborn babies, and the “Come to celebrate the Tió with us”, where several activities with wood are celebrated for the children. Both events are held on December 21.

Say goodbye to the last day of the year in Sitges: End and New year 2019.

Can you describe a picture / landscape better than a night next to the Mediterranean Sea, with this illuminated with multiple colors due to the firworks launched in the sky that reflects it?

Only in Sitges you can live a unique year-end experience next to the sea.

If there is a day of the year to forget about everything, and just think about your happiness, enjoyment and the same for your beloved ones, this must be the last day of the year.

Also for the lovers of parties and dancing, this year during the last night, several concerts will be held at El Retiro de Sitges, with some community Djs such as Dj Miko and Dj Lagarto, among others.

The “Magic Kings” leave their magic to us with his cavalcade to say goodbye to Christmas.

This is one of the most popular and anticipated festivities in the whole country (if not the most important), and every 5^th of January, the “Magic Kings” Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar, make an unforgettable cavalcade, and all the children in the city can bring their letters to them with their most special wishes reflected and writed there.

The ride begins at 6:00 p.m. at the Miramar Cultural Center, and ends at the Plaça Ajuntament where the same mayor Miquel Forns, gives to them the magic key to take all the gifts to the good children during the next morning while they sleep.

In that same square, all the children give their letters, and you can enjor a warm meal with an amazing atmosphere with pure Christmas spirit.
