Sitges is known as the Saint Tropez of Spain! It is located about 35 kilometres southwest of Barcelona. It is world renowned for its Film Festival and Carnival. There are 17 sand beaches, high end stores, expensive homes and classy accommodations. Sitges is a place frequented by those that live a lifestyle of rich and famous. It was here that I purchased a selection of designer sweets and chocolates with intentions of it lasting at least a week, when in fact I had nothing to show after a day and a half.

I had never heard of Sitges until the idea to visit it was put out there. I learned that a hiking friend celebrated her birthday here a few years ago. That must have been a grand celebration. The village is absolutely beautiful, it is so clean and while there is so much white, it is still very colourful.
