About Sitges and its queer life
Sitges is a small town 35 km south-western of Barcelona. In the late 19th century Sitges started to become a mecca for artists and a center for Modernist and post Art Nouveau architects. During the 1960s (under the conservative dictatorship of Franco) it became a center for the counterculture in Spain.
Nowadays, Sitges' economy is based mainly on upscale tourism, business meetings and conferences. Unlike most other coasts in Spain which were taken over by affordable mass tourism in the 1970s and 1980s, Sitges fortunately preserved its unique atmosphere of a charming and pleasant (but also more expensive) place to relax and include fun.

Sitges
Sitges is one of our favourite small Spanish towns. It’s also one of the most male lover friendly towns we have been to with some great homosexual beaches.
The thing we like most about the gay beaches in Sitges is that they are easy to access.

However in Sitges, the main gay beach is right in your face in front of the town centre.
