Sitges beach
Sitges Catalonia, Spain is a small city about 35 kilometers southwest of Barcelona renowned worldwide for its Film Festival and Carnival.
Between the hills and the sea, it is known for its much-frequented beaches, nightspots, and historical sites.
While the roots of Sitges' artsy reputation date back to the late 19th century, when Catalan painter Santiago Rusiñol took up residence there during the summer, the town really came into its own during the 1960s, when it was the only centre for the counterculture on the mainland of Spain (then still under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco), and became known as a sort of "Ibiza in miniature".
Today, Sitges can be considered a dynamic cultural oasis, basing its economy on tourism and culture offering more than 4,500 hotel beds, half of them in four-star hotels. The firm commitment for quality infrastructures has converted Sitges into a first-class destination in terms of tourism of congresses, conferences, seminars and company meetings in the Mediterranean area.

Sitges Carnival
If there is only one good reason to visit Sitges out of season and brave the cooler temperatures then this is it, This is truly an unmissable event which always occurs immediately before Lent. While its starting day varies, it usually ends on Ash Wednesday, which is the beginning of Lent. Traditionally, during Lent no parties may be held and many foods, such as meat, are forbidden.
The forty days of Lent represent the time Jesus spent in the desert where, according to the Bible, he endured temptation by Satan. So it seems quite natural that people should enjoy street parties, dressing up and generally celebrate before they fast. The Sitges Carnival is one of the most important dates in the community of Catalonia. Folk dances and xatonada (traditional local cod salad of Sitges) are also characteristic elements of the carnival.
The two important moments in the carnival of Sitges are the Rua de la Disbauxa the (Debauchery Parade) on Sunday night and the Rua de l‘Extermini, or (Extermination Parade) on Tuesday night. Some 50 odd floats and 4000 participants slowly make there way through the narrow streets watched by 250,000 onlookers.
