Saturday night and we headed over to C.Bonaventura and to Bourbons Bar.

It was Saturday Night and the party atmosphere was amazing.

Great music, low drinks prices and a cruisy dark room make it a popular bar throughout the year.

Fiesta Mayor Street Parade – Sitges 2010

August 28, 2010/in Events, Fiesta Mayor/by keith@gaysitgesguide.com

This year’s Fiesta Mayor parades took on a different route..

The fireworks, beasties and their entourage made their way right past the doors of Parrots Pub and Terrace..

Plz. Industria has never been so busy..

The street was packed with all sorts of devils, beasts and characters celebrating Sitges Fiesta Mayor or Festa Major in Catalan.

It is the annual party for Sitges patron Saint and one that lasts the entire week!

Spectators are advised to wear straw hats and sunglasses if they want to take part in the dance of fire..

Don’t wear anything expensive either.. these are real sparks and they burn… but its great fun!

The parade made its way through the entire town as the Giants danced and the bands played on.

The entire event will be repeated in late September during the Santa Tecla festival..just tin case you missed this one!

Sitges – Fiesta Mayor Fireworks 2010

August 27, 2010/in Events, Fiesta Mayor/by keith@gaysitgesguide.com

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.
