Gay Sitges Guide Blog

Last night some of the smaller streets were busy with guys and girls dancing on the streets, practising their routines for this year’s carnival. With only 2 weeks to go now is the time to get your costume and book your accommodation!

We’ve had a number of emails regarding different events this year. From Carnival to the flower festival of Corpus Cristi, people are confused. The main reason for this is that most holidays in Spain revolve around the church calendar.

As Easter falls very early this year, so too do Sitges most famous festivals… So if you are looking at last years blog posts, for coverage and photos of last years events, make sure you check this years dates for your preferred events by visiting Gay Sitges Guide’s Events section.

Although not obligatory, you may feel left out if you’re not in Costume for the Sitges Carnival, so before you pack, make sure you head down to the costume shop to pick up something suitable. Not everyone has to do drag…as some of these photos prove. Such an angel!

Superheroes always work well… and there’s no “Gay’er” duo that these two.

Of course you don’t have to go to too much trouble. We do like the pink mask though.

And don’t worry, there will be plenty of straight boys dressed up as centurions, monsters and gangsters wearing less and less as the night goes on. Finally we most of the hotels in Sitges are now nearly fully booked for Carnival. Check out AndysRooms.com for last minute offers.

The 25th Annual Sitges Mini Marathon takes place this Sunday, the 13th of January. The race kicks off at 10:00 am. At the Paseo de la Ribera. The arrival of the first runner is expected at 11:05 am.

During the winter season, Barcelona Airport has seen an expansion in services on direct routes linking it to North America, Asia and Europe.

Delta Airlines, Air Transat, Turkish Airlines, SAS and Carglux have announced they will continue to operate some of the flights in the summer and will offer others with a greater frequency. The aim is to meet the demand for direct intercontinental passenger and air freight flights.

Delta Airlines, which links Barcelona with Atlanta only in the summer, will continue to operate the route between 1 November and 31 March with four weekly flights. It will also maintain six flights a week to New York.

Turkish Airlines is planning to increase the number of flights to Istanbul from four to seven, in other words, one a day.
