New Year’s Eve in Sitges 2009

New Years Eve

Judging by the email in-box this week, it appears that many of you are planning on spending your New Year in Sitges. Most of the questions seem to centre around what will it be like in Sitges for New Year and what’s on.

Well, most of the bars will be open for the celebrations with some hosting special parties. We will have more on that later on this month.
In the meantime, check out Gay Sitges Guide’s coverage of the past 4 year’s New Years Eve Events in Sitges here to get a taste of what’s in store for you!

Top activities and tours from Sitges…

Port Aventura

It appears that everyone is in Holiday Planning Mode for 2010. After looking at our stats for tours for 2009, Port Aventura definitely comes out on top! Its an amazing park with amazing water rides and shows and its a great way to spend the day with a group of friends. Be warned though… bring lots of sunscreen!

The park has plenty of spine-tingling rides and other attractions, such as the Temple del Foc (Temple of Fire) and Hurakan Condor (at 100 meters, one of the highest amusement park rides in Europe). The park is spread across themed areas ranging from the Wild West to Polynesia.

This is one of the most popular trips for visitors from our Barcelona Guide who want to see what Sitges is like and to take in the Torres Vineyard and the spectacular views at Monserrat. A definite must if you want to get a taste of what the area has to offer in terms of culture, gastronomy and scenery.

Night Tapas Tour of Barcelona

Finally, it appears that food is never far from your mind. And in this region you simply can not be forgiven for not trying some Tapas. The range of food on offer is sublime and the restaurants dotted around Barcelona are some of the best! The night tour of Barcelona’s Tapas bars is probably one of the most enjoyable tours available.

You get to meet interesting people in a relaxed atmosphere, all while sampling the best beers, cavas and food the city has to offer! Highly recommended!

Axel Hotel, Barcelona

Finally, most of the tours leave from Barcelona. Many people who visit tend to combine the city with Sitges in some form or other. Our advice is to use Sitges as your main base and take the train to Barcelona and if you do want to stay over, book a night or two in one of the many hotels in the city. Our favourite has to be the Axel Hotel, the first “Hetro-Friendly” hotel in the world. Its cool, chic and definitely the place to be seen when in the city. Get the best rates by booking here.
