Discover Sitges

Sitges is a Barcelona municipality in the Garraf comarca, known for its Mediterranean seafront and the immediate presence of the Garraf Natural Park, which covers most of its municipal area with more than 12,000 hectares. This duality between sea and limestone massif defines the outdoor activity offer: sea kayaking around the surrounding coves, stand-up paddleboarding in front of the beach and mountain biking and hiking routes that enter the Garraf from the town centre itself. The coastal Camí de Ronda allows walkers and cyclists to follow the Sitges coastline and neighbouring municipalities with continuous sea views. Cycling routes through the Penedès wine country set off from Sitges towards the vineyards, combining cycle touring with winery visits. Diving in the Garraf coast's underwater caves rounds out the water offer, with rocky seabeds and algae hosting marine fauna typical of the north-western Mediterranean.

Highlights

  • • Sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding in Garraf coast coves
  • • Mountain biking and hiking in Garraf Natural Park from the town centre
