Beaches
Sitges is home to 4 kilometres of beach and is part of the Costa de Garraf. The fine sandy beaches are ideal for enjoying a dip or water sports. The best known offer shallow waters with hardly any waves and more secluded spots for nudists.

One of the most typical dishes is ‘xató’, made with curly endive, cod, tuna, anchovies and olives dressed in a Romesco sauce. Stuffed cuttlefish with potatoes and aioli or tuna stew are just some of the tasty dishes from Sitges.
