Sitges is a popular destination for the gay traveller. It is often said that Sitges is one of the gay capitals of Europe. By day there is an open and amiable atmosphere, with gay couples at ease to be intimate and affectionate, and at night there is a large scene of gay clubs and bars.
One of the highlights of Sitges' calender year is carnival in February. This Mardi Gras event sees drag queens, bears and cubs and exhibitionists from all over Spain head to the town. The event is enjoyed by young and old, gay and straight, but it's definitely an opportunity to be yourself and strut your stuff.

The gay scene is so prominent here in Sitges, it takes centre stage in the main part of town. In fact, if you Google ‘Sitges’, it specifically mentions that it is filled with same-sex attracted bars. This is not just a town or urban area with a queer scene; in our opinion it is a gay town!
What a lot of people do not realise is that they can easily visit from Barcelona (which is very popular). Sitges is just 30 minutes southwest from Barcelona by train – see below for instructions.

About Sitges and its gay life
Sitges is a small town 35 km south-western of Barcelona. In the tardy 19th century Sitges started to become a mecca for artists and a center for Modernist and post Art Nouveau architects.

Nowadays, Sitges' economy is based mainly on upscale tourism, business meetings and conferences. Unlike most other coasts in Spain which were taken over by low-cost mass tourism in the s and s, Sitges fortunately preserved its exceptional atmosphere of a charming and pleasant (but also more expensive) place to relax and have entertainment.
This attracted also more and more lgbtq+ tourists and expatriates, and
