I recently looked book a weekend away to Barcelona, but as i was looking i stumbled across the town of Sitges.

Sitges is around 40km outside of Barcelona down the cost. The costal road to it is beautiful, you drive along the cliffs looking out over the blue sea, passing yacht and boat stations along the way. It was easy to drive into Barcelona as you only have to comprimise around 5 spanish roads. Once your their it's easy to park at Port Vell.

I stayed for a long weekend and booked into the Hotel Antemare just on the beach. It's a reletively big 4* hotel which is about 50meters from the beach.

The beach is sitges spans around 2miles. It has lovely clean sand and inviting waters. There is very personal touch to the way they operate their restaurants along the beach. The food is outstandind as well as the prices.

But behind the beach front and seaside restaurants there is a much larger community of shops and bars and even more restaurants. The small streets spanning through the centre of Sitges offer a huge shopping experiance, you could spend days strolling into a range of shops offering things from designer clothes to a table lamp. But if this is to much for you, sit in one of the many small bars and watch the world go by around you.

When night comes the towns streets become busier and more inviting. The shops are open late and the people are welcoming around the town. They host events around the town which come through the streets, if your lucky enough to be there take the time to watch and enjoy.

Overall the place has to be seen, walk along the coast and enjoy the sun as you stroll in the sand. Then relax, eat and drink in one of the many restaurants. Then continue on the see the old buildings and character the town has to offer.
