Don’t go to Sitges Spain unless…
you love
the salty smell of the Mediterranean Sea,
strolling along endless beaches lined with palm trees
and
a Catalan seaside town that radiates charm.
Don’t go to Sitges Spain unless…
you fancy exploring
winding medieval streets,
a 17th-century Baroque style church, Església Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla,
in a stunning setting
and buildings bursting with intricate detail.
Don’t go to Sitges Spain unless…
you appreciate
an artsy vibe
that oozes from cafés and boutiques,
is classically presented in museums
and is palpable at every turn.
Don’t go to Sitges Spain unless…
you relish
Spanish tapas, especially patatas brava,
and sangria
and pondering the possibilities
of
where intriguing doorways may lead.
Don’t go to Sitges Spain unless…
you cherish
long, unexpected conversations with locals
and time to contemplate
where life’s journey might be leading you.
Love a seaside holiday? You could also go here in southern Italy and here on the Atlantic coast in France. These beaches in Portugal are rather wild!
You’ve been warned.
Don’t go to Sitges Spain unless…
you are prepared
for the tug in your heart
asking you
to remain indefinitely.
“You are never too old
to set another goal
or
to dream a new dream.”
C.S. Lewis

In Sitges Don’t Miss:
Besides the absolute obvious of enjoying the beaches, exploring the town, people watching on the promenade and enjoying the shopping, food and nightlife, you might also enjoy:
El Museo del Cau Ferrat: This museum is in a house that was owned by painter Santiago Rossiñol. The view over the Mediterranean is breathtaking. The collection is interesting and includes a small Picasso.
It is one of 4 museums in Sitges Spain.
Finding an artist’s atelier: We wandered into Manuel Blesa’s atelier late in the day and found this lovely gentleman who chatted to us and shared his artistic prowess. His still lifes are breathtaking. His paintings of the dolls with the porcelain faces stop you in your tracks. It had never crossed my mind that those dolls, created well before photography, represented faces of real people. His 2-D paintings look remarkably 3-D. www.manuel-blesa.com
