This year’s Sitges Timbalada 2008 takes place Saturday the 12th of July. Get ready for the true rhythm of Sitges as famous bands such as Markatu and others take to the streets of the town.
The bands will make their way through the town through a series of 7 routes, so you can catch a different sound and a different beat depending on where you are. The best place to be is Cap De La Vila, or the centre of town where all of the bands will converge. Not for the faint hearted.

This is a treat for those of you who have never been to Sitges. Its a sort of mini-ariel-tour of the town from Gay Sitges Guide. Its also a handy reference for finding the other gay nudist beach, Playa del Meurte (Dead Man’s Beach).
As you can see from above, the famous Sitges church is in the old town… yes there is a whole other part of Sitges behind the church and it is well worth exploring with some of the buildings dating back to the 1300’s.
As you continue along Sitges 4kms+ line of beautiful beaches you will find all sorts of water sport activites taking place, from para-surfing to windsailing.
At the end of Sitges you will find the golf course and the Sunway Apartments. This is your first point of reference to find the Nudist Gay Beach.
Then its on past the L’Atlantida Disco, which holds the Gay Beach Party every year.
Continue along up past the railway (go over the tunnel… not through it!)
Follow the multi-coloured signs that have been sprayed onto the walls.
And there you have it. Its a bit of a walk…but the beach is good fun, you get to meet some great people…and the forest behind the beach has something for everyone! Enjoy.
