Sitges has charmed us with its cultural town for centuries, with awe-inspiring architecture - including its 20th century seafront mansions – art and treasure museums and historic tales. Visit the Cau Ferrat Museum, once home to the artist Santiago Rusiñol, whom upon his death left the house and its contents open to the general public – there are also museums like Maricel Museum and Museu Romantic worth of a visit. The Sitges Film Festival is also a must for fantasy and horror lovers.
Summer brings out the town’s hedonistic flavour as the annual Sitges Carnival springs into action, attracting over a quarter of a million participating revelers each year.
