Sitges celebrates the wine harvest every year with a Wine and Food festival by the Sea. On the 18th and 19th of September, you will have the opportunity to try a selection of the very best wines available from the Penedes region.
There will also be a wine-trashing competition on the Sunday at La Fragata from 6pm and a gourmet food village along the seafront. Enjoy.
Its been the “most-asked” question since the end of August. And as they say, it’s never been to early to plan a party, here is a recap on the dates for Sitges Pride 2011.
The Carnival falls very late in 2011, later in fact than it has for many years. The 2011 Sitges Carnival takes place from the 3rd to the 9th of March…. So it will be a little warmer for those of you who want to dress up in something skimpy!
If you’ve never been to the Sitges Carnival, then check out BCNisGay’s full report below. There’s a little Spanish intro at the beginning but don’t let that put you off… it really captures what Sitges Carnival is all about.

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!
Check out the photos of Fiesta Mayor on Gay Sitges Guide below.
Friday night and Lady was playing to another packed house in Parrots Restaurant.
The show, one of the highlights of the Sitges Summer Season should definitely be on your list of things to do when you get here.
It kicks off every Friday night from 9.30pm.
Check out the photos of Lady Diamond at Parrots below.
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.
The Spirit of Sitges Pride returned to L’Atlantida on Tuesday Night.
The Gay Beach Party finished off a crazy Fiesta Mayor week of celebrations.
The party attracted thousand of guys from around the world.
And of course we had some very special guests…
Lady Diamond and Miss Ruby were the stars of the show, along with their crew of merry devotees and girls in training!
The Gay Beach Party takes place every Tuesday night during the Summer months.
L’Atlantida is a truly spectacular location. Just 10 minutes from Sitges, there is a free bus from outside the Hotel Calipolis every 15 minutes.
The parties continue next Tuesday with their Pink, Plastic and Fantastic “Barbie and Ken Night”…
Festivities come to an end the following Tuesday Night, the 7th of September.. it should be an interesting mix of Boys and Bears..
