In Sitges Spain 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 dolls with porcelain faces stop you in your tracks. It had never crossed my mind that those dolls, created well before photography, represented the faces of real people. His 2-D paintings look remarkably 3-D.  www.manuel-blesa.com
