In summer, Sitges is dominated by gays. From all over Europe, guys travel to this small village south of Barcelona. They come for the beautiful gay beaches and the compact but vibrant gay nightlife. It won't be difficult to make new friends here, either at the beach, in the bars or in the bushes!
Best to go is end of spring, till end of summer. Combine your trip with a few days in Barcelona. Fly to Barcelona airport and take the train to Sitges. You would need to change trains at El Prat de Llobregat. The train trip will be about an hour
Sitges offers a vast selection of gay guest houses and hotels. But since Sitges is quite tolerant, you can pick any of the hotels. However, be sure you be near the city center! Check our Sitges Hotels here
A day in the gay life in Sitges is in a way quite simple: relax in the sun on one of the beautiful beaches, jump on one of the terraces at the end of the day watching the guys go by, have dinner in one of the restaurants in the village and experience a thrilling night out in one of the gay bars or clubs. Gay life can be so hard....
There are two main gay beaches in Sitges. One is Platja De La Bassa Rodona in front of hotel Calipolis (our hotel tip). From your hotel room you can spot the cute guys at the beach.
The other beach is Playa del Muerto, a gay nude beach with heavy cruising area. When looking at the sea it's at your right: 45 minute walk. If you're a bit lazy better spend some Euros on a taxi to the end of the boulevard, and walk only the last 15 minutes along the railway track
After a day at the beach, settle yourself at one of the terraces in the village. For instance at the Parrots Pub you can see all boys come by walking off the beach into the village center
After dinner (which is around 10pm) in one of the many gay owned restaurants, you can strawl the bars for a drink. Try to tune in with the local routine, as most bars can be very busy at a specific time, buy completely empty at another.
When the bars close (around 3am), you can go to one of the clubs. Organic and Trailer are the popular clubs for a dance late into the night.
When you're into some other form of exercise, just pop into one of the sleazy bars like XXL or Men Bar (although they do not stay open that late).
In day time, you can cruise the bushes at the southern nude beach, just across the railway track at Playas del Muertes. After dark cruising takes place at the boulevard, in front of hotel Calipolis. But be very careful!!
