The “Nit de Focs” was one of those up-close-and-personal nights with the dragon and beasts of Sitges! Using the Paseo was definitely a good idea for this event as it really showed off just how crazy the fireworks can be.
And its easier to run out of their way when compared to running down the streets of the old town!
Enjoy your Santa Tecla Festivities and don’t forget the fireworks display on Wed night from 11pm.

If you were on the Ribera side of the church this year for the Fiesta Mayor Fireworks, then you may have had difficulty seeing many of the fireworks that were high in the sky, due mainly to the extreme humidity and the lack of any wind at sea, to blow the smoke away.
The best views were on the San Sebastian side of the church, particularly high-up by the Hotel Melia Sitges.
They were truly spectacular and despite the smokey view, the atmosphere on the beaches was amazing, as it always is in Sitges!
See you in Sitges for Fiesta Mayor – Festa Major 2011, when the fireworks will take place on Tuesday August 23rd. And remember you can view more fireworks and an amazing end of Summer festival in Stiges during Santa Tecla on September, 20th to 27th.

The countdown is on for Sitges Fiesta Mayor. The town will be full of dancers, puppets, parades, fireworks and general mayhem! The main event is the amazing fireworks display which takes place on Monday the 23rd at 11pm. Our advice, with hundreds of thousands of people (no we are not making that up), get your place on the sea-front early to ensure you get the best view!
