Sitges: Fun at the seaside!
KateHello everyone!
Yesterday I treated myself to the luxury of a day off work 
and went to the local seaside town of Sitges for a lazy day on the beach! And what a day - bright blue skies, golden sands and nothing to worry about apart from getting a tan (unfortunately, I forget to re-apply my suncream and now have very red shoulders 
)
In spite of my burnt back, I had a great day and if you have never been to Sitges, you really SHOULD go! It is a beautiful little town, with its gorgeous winding streets and whitewashed houses and the beaches are lovely - very clean and well-kept. I usually spend my time collapsed on the sand sunbathing, but you can also hire pedalo boats and take a little tour around the bay.
When you have had enough sun (is there such a thing??!) you can check out the bustling mini town centre where you will find lots of nice bars, shops and restaurants. Walking through Sitges centre you will find a variety of shops, ranging from typical touristy ones selling swimwear and souvenirs, etc., to some really exclusive clothes boutiques. A strange but interesting mix!.
The nightlife is also a lot of fun in Sitges, so if you have the chance so stay over-night, don’t miss it! This cute little town transforms into party-land at night when holiday-makers and locals alike fill the numerous bars. Friday and Saturday nights are probably the liveliest!
And best of all, it is really easy to get to Sitges from Barcelona! Trains run every 30 minutes and the journey takes just 40 minutes! It’s not expensive either - 5 euros RETURN! You can also get the train from Passeig de Gracia train station (right near the school) so an afternoon at the beach in Sitges after class is easy to organise.
If you need any more information or advice about a day/night in Sitges, let me know!
