1. San Sebastiá Beach
As number 1 on our Sitges Top 5 list, we have the best beach in Sitges. Sant Sebastià Beach is a Mediterranean paradise. It’s located in the middle of the city and offers some nice waves to swim and enjoy. With its golden sands and clear waters, it also offers a perfect escape for sun seekers. Backed by a promenade dotted with bars and restaurants, it’s an ideal spot to savour the sea breeze and bask in the coastal charm.
2. Cinc Food Parlour
This café / restaurant, offers great food and drinks, right in the city center. Cinc Food Parlour, located close to the beautiful Casa del Reloj, the Clocktower, which is a modernist construction from 1915 by the architect Ignasi Mas i Morell. Cinc offers an extensive menu with breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and more. They also have plenty of delicious cakes and biscuits. Coffee was great, highly recommended place.
3. Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla Church
The Iglesia de San Bartolomé y Santa Tecla stands as Sitges’ spiritual cornerstone. This grand church, dating back centuries, graces the town’s skyline with its stunning architecture. Its intricate details and serene ambiance offer a glimpse into Sitges’ history and religious heritage, making it a must-visit landmark.
4. Ohana Restaurant
A great place for Paella is Ohana Restaurant. It’s located a 5 minutes drive from the center of Sitges. The location is a bit different as it’s inside a camping area but trust me, the paella here is really good and they have been serving Paellas for over 40 years. We ordered the seafood paella and it was truly great. Highly recommended ! See their menu here.
5. Coastal road between Sitges and Barcelona
If you have a car, make sure to take the coastal road between Sitges and Barcelona. It’s a windy road in perfect condition and offers some spectacular views. There are also a modern toll-road between Sitges and Barcelona, so make sure not to take that one, as it’s goes mainly in tunnels and offers no views. Along thte coastal road you can stop at one of the many viewpoints and get some pretty views of the sea and Sitges in the distance.
