Guide gay sitges
When it comes to gay travel, Spain is one of the best and most exciting destinations you can visit.
We have experienced many of Spain’s famous gay destinations but we have to say, Sitges is our favourite gay hotspot in Spain!
Sitges is well-known for its Mediterranean beaches, pretty narrow streets, stunning marina and especially for its gay scene. The gay scene is so prominent here in Sitges, it takes centre stage in the main part of town. In fact, if you Google ‘Sitges’, it specifically mentions that it is filled with gay bars. This is not just a town or municipality with a gay scene; in our opinion it is a gay town!
What a lot of people do not realise is that they can easily visit from Barcelona (which is very popular). Sitges is just 30 minutes southwest from Barcelona by train – see below for instructions.
Let’s take a look at all that Sitges has to offer in our ‘Sitges Gay Guide’ and detect out why we can’t wait to return!

Gay Sitges &#; the best gay hotels, bars, clubs &#; more in
Sitges is a little town with a big personality, just a short educate trip south of Barcelona. On the one hand, it exudes a quintessentially Spanish beach-town vibe, with white-painted buildings sporting balconies, a superabundance of homely tapas bars, a pretty promenade, and an impressive-looking church perched atop a rocky outcrop along its waterfront. On the other, it boasts a gay scene that rivals cities twice its size, featuring a variety of gay bars, cruising spots, and shops peddling the typical gay paraphernalia of butt-bolstering speedos and sexy jockstraps. Sitges isn’t exactly the place you go to sightsee, but rather a destination to kick back with hunks on the beach by evening and then dive into its lively bar scene, or festival street parties, as the daystar sets.
Whether you’re out drinking in Plaça Indústria or relaxing at its gay beaches, you’ll discover yourself in the midst of a constant throng of chatty LGBTQ+ tourists from across Europe, retired gay expats, local business owners and the original Catalan locals, al

About Sitges and its gay 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 s (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 economical mass tourism in the s and s, Sitges fortunately preserved its distinct atmosphere of a charming and pleasant (but also more expensive) place to relax and own fun.
This attracted also more and more gay tourists and expatriates, and
