										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for a holiday destination with beautiful beaches, a varied cultural offer and all kinds of tourist services, you should opt for Sitges. Indeed, the city is known for her traditional fishing village. She has managed to become the <strong>capital of tourism</strong> on the coast of Barcelona. <strong>Only 20 kilometres south of Barcelona</strong> and thanks to its microclimate with more than 300 days of sunshine per year, and the protection of the Garraf Park mountains. You can enjoy peacefully your holiday with your family!</p>
<p>The former fishing village, with its white church and golden sandy beaches, is a real pleasure for the eyes and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, while discovering the local festivities.</p>
<p>If during your stay you have not had the opportunity to see events, do not worry, there are many things to do in and around Sitges: She has everything for her.</p>
<h4>1.Activities on the beaches</h4>
<p>Beaches are an ideal destination for family holidays. Its wide variety of beaches is more than enough for the little ones to feel happy and have fun. The vast majority of them offer basic services such as showers, lifesaving and Chiringuitos (Spanish bars on the beach), so you do not have to worry about anything. The best beaches for families are those close to the centre. They have many more services and extend over the entire promenade, where children can cycle or skate. We advice you to visit Terramar Park, where you will find playgrounds and picnic areas in the shade under the palm trees. If you consult our guide on the beaches of Sitges, you will see that many beaches offer the possibility to rent kayaks and pedal boats. Many beaches such as La Fragata beach, offer nets for volleyball and football. In high season, from June to September, on the most central beaches, you can find special activities, such as aquagym lessons or activities for children.</p>
<h4>2.Enjoy a local festivities with your family.</h4>
<p>If you decide to visit Sitges during the Christmas holidays, you are lucky, its microclimate will allow you to have sunny days and a clear sky. The <a href="http://www.sitges.cat/jsp/agenda/detall.jsp?id=9862">Nadal Park</a> offers all kinds of activities for children. On January 5th, you can see the procession of the Three Wise Men in Sitges, full of colours and fantasy.</p>
<h4>3.Explore the beautiful fishing village</h4>
<p>The old town of Sitges will surprise you with the white colour of the houses and their floral decorations which are the main characteristics of the city. This district is full of local shops, bakeries, bars, restaurants and terraces of all kinds. During your stay, do not forget to visit the church of San Bartolomeu and Santa Tecla. Their view of the sea are incredible!</p>
<p>After a sunny day on the beach, there is nothing better than walking along the &#8220;Paseo Maritimo&#8221; to enjoy the sea breeze. If you want to go out in the evening, you can have dinner or a drink on the terrace . If you want to do something more festive, nothing better than going to bars and discos to dance.</p>
<p>Sitges, a cosmopolitan city, offers life all year round, especially at weekends, when a large number of people come from Barcelona to visit Sitges. So there will always be people and special projects, without becoming too overwhelming. Book your holiday home at <a href="https://www.weeklyvillas.com/">Weekly Villas</a> and prepare yourself for a perfect holiday.</p>
<p>For those who enjoy cultural activities, there are museums to visit in Sitges that are worth it. For example, the beautiful Cau Ferrat Museum, an old house and workshop of Santiago Rusiñol, one of the representatives of Catalan modernism. There are all kinds of art, from ceramics to paintings by Picasso and of course other artists.</p>
<p>Moreover, you can choose to visit Palace Marycel, which saves a magnificent collection of medieval art. The Museums of Sitges offer activities for families and they are free for children under 12 years old. Adults can get a special ticket, valid for all museums and with which you will get a better price than if you bought the tickets for each museum separately.</p>

<h4>4.Enjoy outdoor activities in the sun.</h4>
<p>Sitges has no less than three marinas and offers you the opportunity to practice all kinds of water sports, especially in the Aiguadolç area. If your children do not just want to play and swim, you can choose to send them to sailing or even surfing classes. Around Sitges, you will find all kinds of water activities, such as water skiing, windsurfing or kitesurfing. There are also many companies that organize excursions such as horseback riding or mountain biking. There is also the possibility to enjoy the sun and discover the seabed around Sitges during a boat trip thanks to its glass bottom or even during your sailboat or kayak trip. There are so many possibilities!</p>
<h4>5.Visit of the Garraf Natural Park.</h4>
<p>How about visiting the magnificent Garraf Natural Park? The environment is entirely Mediterranean and offers all kinds of activities, exhibitions and a variety of trails and guided itineraries (week-ends), among others. You can also opt for a guided tour by minibus from the Sitges tourist office through the natural park. One of the best hiking routes is the part of the Hermitage of Our Lady of Bruques ( Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Bruques), located on the road to Gavà a Begues, and extends to the castle of Eramprunya. To rest and regain your strength, you can eat in the restaurant next to this chapel or have a picnic and enjoy the incredible view of the castle.</p>
<p>However, if you are looking for a quieter getaway, you can always choose the train to go to the fabulous beach of Le Garraf, where you can also rent kayaks and pedal boats. There is nothing better than staying in a holiday villa in Sitges near to the sea to discover its nearby areas .</p>

<h4> </h4>
<h4>6.Visit Barcelona</h4>
<p>Sitges is only 40 km from Barcelona (less than an hour by train), so you can always choose to visit this city if you want something different. Cultural offer of Barcelona is so dynamic and full of events, celebrations and activities that it always has something to offer, even for the youngest ones.</p>
<p>As in Sitges, in summer in Barcelona there are many festivals in all its districts, such as the Festa Major de Poble Nou or the spectacular Festa Major de Gracia. In September, the pace does not slow down! Indeed, the most important summer festival is celebrated: La Mercé. Many of these festivals offer special activities for families throughout the day, including giant dances, parades and activities for children.</p>

<p><strong>7.Discover the world of wine cellars</strong></p>
<p>The town is located in the heart of the Penedés wine region, famous for its wine cellar and its beautiful landscapes and nature. The city is less than half an hour&#8217;s drive from Vilafranca del Penedés, the capital of the Penedés Valley. We advice you to visit them!</p>
<p>A journey to discover the wine cellar of the Penedés may seem a little boring and long for children, but&#8230; This is not the case! The region&#8217;s vineyards have specialized in family visits and offer activities for the youngest.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<h4>1. Modernist buildings in Sitges</h4>
<p>Visit Sitges; Sitges is a city marked by the &#8220;Americans&#8221; or &#8220;Indians&#8221; who, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, returned from their adventure of the colonies. &#8230;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>1. Modernist buildings in Sitges</h4>
<p>Visit Sitges; Sitges is a city marked by the &#8220;Americans&#8221; or &#8220;Indians&#8221; who, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, returned from their adventure of the colonies. They were people who had left their countries in order to earn money. So they had been to the Spanish colonies of Cuba, the Philippines and Puerto Rico and they managed to get rich!</p>
<p>Upon their return, much of the wall that protected Sitges was demolished. So the Indians began to build new houses. Many of the buildings that were built in the Old City were in the Modernist style, although it can be seen that there are other mixtures of styles from the time.</p>
<p>During your visit, you will find a multitude of houses with these floral decorations one of the characteristics of modernism.</p>
<h4>2. White Houses of Fishermen</h4>
<p>We advise you to visit the fishermen&#8217;s quarters. In the past, fishermen&#8217;s houses were distinguished by their white facades. That is why none of the modernist buildings in the old town are painted white. Indeed, they were looking for other shades to distinguish themselves socially.</p>
<p>Today, this has changed and much of the charm of the city is that most houses keep this harmony of white facades with blue touches.</p>
<h4>3. Palacio Maricel Museum</h4>
<p>Originally, at the Palau Maricel site, there were 8 fishermen&#8217;s houses. Charles Deering, a very wealthy man, bought these houses in order to put his large art collection. He also bought the old hospital, right next to the houses and made it his home. He covered the walls with works of art from many parts of the country by contemporary artists of the time.</p>
<p>The Palacio Maricel Museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10am to 8pm from July to September, from 10am to 7pm in April, May, June and October and from 10am to 6pm from November to March, the museum is closed to visitors on Monday. On Sundays, there are guided tours, at noon in Catalan and at 1pm in Spanish, although opening hours are extended in summer.</p>
<h4>4.Cau Ferrat Museum</h4>
<p>The Cau Ferrat Museum is perhaps the most important museum in the city of Sitges. You will find works of Picasso as well as El Greco. In fact, the museum is located in what was once Santiago Rusiñol&#8217;s studio. He is considered to be one of the most important modernist artists in Catalonia. So there are many works of this brilliant modernist artist. You will notice that the walls of this workshop house are painted in the same blue as the patios of the fishermen&#8217;s houses.</p>
<h4></h4>
<h4>5. Church of Sant Bartolomeu</h4>
<p>The spectacular church of Sant Bartolomeu is one of the most characteristic monuments of the city. At the beginning of the walk and next to the marina, the church is located on the top of a hill, along the entire length of the Sitges coast.</p>
<p>It is a baroque church. In the past there were several churches that unfortunately did not withstand the ravages of time. Its great heritage is above all its altarpieces and two bell towers. Do not forget to visit the back of the church from where you can see one of the city&#8217;s few preserved medieval walls. At night, the church is subtly illuminated and provides a beautiful image for photography lovers.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7513" src="https://www.weeklyvillas.es/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/La_Paradeta_Sitges-1.jpg" alt="Visiter Sitges " width="1000" height="604" /></p>
<h4>6. Houses of indianos in the <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/P.%C2%BA+Mar%C3%ADtimo,+Barcelona/@41.2657907,1.9680439,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a48282920861af:0xdbbeb2cd50013dc6!8m2!3d41.2657907!4d1.9680439!16s%2Fg%2F11cnq5dg7h?entry=ttu">Paseo Marítimo</a></h4>
<p>The walk is not just any place, since most of the buildings are small hotels in the style of colonial villas. As you leave the port and hotel area, you will see houses built by the Indians who returned from America.</p>
<p>Although not all houses date from colonial times, many of the hotels you will find have been built in an attempt to reproduce this architectural style. Do not expect the entire promenade to have a uniform succession of colonial houses, some modern houses worth several million euros blend in with other facades from the colonial era. If you like walking, there is Terramar Park at the end of the walk. It worths a visit</p>

<h4 class="p1">Discover the wonderful old town of Sitges.</h4>
<p>Sitges is a magical city full of charms and historical places. To know its origins, it is necessary to visit the old town. In <strong>1972 it was declared historical, artistic set</strong>, a point that every traveler should visit.</p>
<p>In the old town of Sitges <strong>we can see many types of art</strong>: Iberian archaeological remains, Roman and medieval art but, above all, <strong>modernist art</strong>.</p>
<h5 class="p3">The Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla</h5>
<p><a href="https://www.weeklyvillas.es/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/96011_34916412-1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-3994"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3994" src="https://www.weeklyvillas.es/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/96011_34916412-1.jpg" alt="Old town of Sitges and its church" width="800" height="421" /></a></p>
<p>It is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city and is one of the images that most characterizes <strong>the town of Sitges</strong>. It was built in the seventeenth century and had numerous modifications, but still retains its <strong>baroque spirit</strong>.</p>
<p>Inside you can find art works of great value as baroque and Renaissance altarpieces.</p>
<p>It was built in a small &#8220;turon&#8221; right next to the beach. Here we can see a beautiful cliff, next to the wall and the canyon, where the waves of the sea are biting.</p>
<p>The <strong>beach of the Fragata</strong>, <a title="The best beaches of Sitges" href="https://www.weeklyvillas.com/sitges-costa-del-garraf-en/sitges-beach/">one of the most emblematic</a> of the city, corresponds to the old fishing port of the town of Sitges. The surrounding houses are white with blue stripes and large windows open to the sea.</p>
<h5 class="p4">The medieval castle and the old wall</h5>
<p><a href="https://www.weeklyvillas.es/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/3-1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-547"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-547" src="https://www.weeklyvillas.es/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/3-1.jpg" alt="Old town of Sitges" width="1024" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>This castle was one of the protagonists during the struggle of Christians and Muslims, a <strong>great strategic point of war</strong>. It has a tower of more than 20 meters in height and is surrounded by a wall. It was a beautiful residence, clearly aristocratic, and today the great hall, the cellar, the dungeons, the patio and the kitchen, oven and chivalry spaces are still preserved. It offers an <strong>authentic trip to medieval times</strong>.</p>
<p>Currently, the wall is spread over several points of the city and the castle is the current <strong>Town Hall of the Village of Sitges</strong>.</p>
<h4 class="p1"></h4>
<h5 class="p4"><span class="s1">Old Modernist Market</span></h5>
<p>The <strong>Old market of Sitges</strong> is the Municipal Market. It was built by the famous architect of the municipality, Gaietà Bu├»gas i Monravà. This modernist market has 31 stops, 10 shops in a gallery, a supermarket and a gastronomic classroom where different training courses are held in hospitality. <strong>It sells all kinds of fresh food products with top quality</strong>.</p>
<h4 class="p1"></h4>
<h5 class="p4"><span class="s1">Bacardi House</span></h5>
<p>In the old town of Sitges you can also discover the history and secrets of the Bacardi family. If you are interested and seduced by the creation of the brand, the house is a modernist building of Sitges, right next to the old market. At the <strong>Bacardi Museum</strong> you can live a great experience surrounded by the best cocktails. Do you want to learn to make them? Here they will teach you.</p>
<h4 class="p1"></h4>
<h5 class="p5"><span class="s1">Most emblematic buildings of the old town of Sitges:</span></h5>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span class="s1">Cau Ferrat Museum:</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.weeklyvillas.es/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Sitges-1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-4000"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4000" src="https://www.weeklyvillas.es/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Sitges-1.jpg" alt="Old town of Sitges: Cau Ferrat Museum" width="800" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>It was founded in 1893 by the artist <strong>Santiago Rusiñol</strong>, where he established his house-workshop. In 1933 it was converted into a public museum, preserving the spirit of its founder.</p>
<p><strong>Large collections of art</strong> (painting, furniture, sculptures, archeology &#8230;) with works by Santiago Rusiñol, Picasso and many more artists can be admired inside the<strong> Cau Ferrat</strong>, considered the Temple of Modernism.</p>
<ul>
<li class="p7"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Maricel Palace Museum:</span></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.weeklyvillas.es/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/458-1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-3997"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3997" src="https://www.weeklyvillas.es/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/458-1.jpg" alt="Old town of Sitges: Maricel Palace Museum" width="800" height="531" /></a></p>
<p>A perfect place to discover <strong>important works of high quality art</strong> that are organized chronologically in the interior of this museum. From Romanesque and Gothic, passing through Renaissance and Baroque, following the Neoclassical, Romanticism and Modernism. Let art invade you and teach you a new world.</p>

At the moment it is the headquarters of institutional and cultural events (concerts, conferences or presentations) and, in some cases, also of business companies and organizations.</p>
<p>There is nothing like strolling through the picturesque streets of the old town of Sitges and relaxing in a <a title="Mediterranean holiday villa in Sitges" href="https://www.weeklyvillas.com/room/mediterranean-villa-in-sitges/">Mediterranean villa facing the sea </a>or <a title="Holiday villa in Sitges in front the Golf" href="https://www.weeklyvillas.com/room/sitges-villa-with-pool/">surrounded by nature</a>&#8230;</p>
