Sitges said goodbye to September and the start of a more tranquil phase in town with the Santa Tecla Fireworks.

This time, the weather was perfect and the Fireworks were mesmerising.

Santa Tecla is one of the final big festivals of the Summer Season in Sitges.

Our next big event is the Sitges Film Festival and the crazy Zombie walk taking place in October.

In the mean time, the town is working on a full program of events for 2011..with some special events planned to mark the arrival of the Spring Season in 2011.. and of course the Pride festivities! Watch this space for details.

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.

This week its the turn of Santa Tecla in Sitges. Yes, another festival and this one goes out with a bang! A spectacular fireworks display will take place on Wednesday night from 23.00hrs, right along the beach front. There are also several different street parades, fire walkers and more.

After the fireworks, all of the bars in Sitges were busy..

We popped into Queenz Bar for a few drinks..

Santa Tecla Festivities continued well into the middle of the week in Sitges.

Fireworks, dragons, dancing boys and girls…

Its a fitting end to a spectacular Summer season.

And the weather was perfect for the night time parade of fire.

Santa Tecla is the patron saint of Sitges and is definitely a must-attend event if you are in Sitges in September.
