The beaches of Sitges & Garraf

Posted by troutiemcfish 19 March 2011

The picturesque town of Sitges is 35km south west of Barcelona, and easily reached by train. As well as being chock full of culture and carnivals, the area boasts 17 clean sandy beaches - so there’s one to suit everyone! The town beaches are the busiest, but to the east lies Les Botigues, a peaceful beach with open air bars, and the long beaches of Castelldefels.
The beach at Garraf is family-friendly and popular with the locals. There are no beach bars, but lots of great restaurants overlooking the beautiful bay. The village also has a restaurant housed in a charming winery - Celler Guell - built by Gaudi.

Frequent RENFE trains from Barcelona - from Sants and Passeig de Gracia stations.
