General presentation
Sitges et massif du Garraf
Mediterranean resort near Barcelona, with white old town, beaches, cliffs of Garraf and very lively atmosphere.
To understand what Sitges and Garraf Mountains are, you must look to Sitges, Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla Church and Garraf Natural Park. These places give you a view of a territory marked by urban life, the coastline, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: very busy in summer and lively urban beaches. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Sitges
Sitges has a vibrant coastal identity where the sea, pedestrian squares and old buildings make up the same urban partition. By following the aisles of the center by the sea, one captures the contrast between festive architecture and daily use. In the morning, the atmosphere is clearer and the details of the event come out better.
Nature
Parc naturel du Garraf
Garraf Natural Park mixes limestone formations, Mediterranean vegetation and openings to the coast. Itineraries reward an attentive walk: each point of view announces another rhythm, between gentle slope and sharper rock. The best moments are those where the light shaves accentuates the reliefs without drying them out.
Place
Vilanova i la Geltrú
Vilanova i la Geltrú lives through its active streets, its squares and its quieter port points. The place does not need to speak, it speaks through its subjects, its corridors and its uses. A passage at the beginning of the day makes it possible to better perceive the nuances between center and water fronts.
