Route of the Carnival King – Arrival Day.

Gay Carnival Sitges

Here is the route for the arrival of the King of Carnival and his Dragon Queen on the 31st of Jan. The large green dots mark the best vantage points in terms of seeing the route pass by. You see it takes some effort to move these large floats through a medieval town. So as they turn the corners, you get more time to take in the spectacle.

The route leaves the town hall square, then passes along the beach-front, up Bonaire, through to the “Cap de la Vila”, the centre of town, through Calle Major and finally ends up at the Town Hall. The parade kicks off at 7pm and ends at 9pm… ish…

Carnival Costumes

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.
