Although the weather was a little cooler in Sitges this weekend, Sunday turned out to be another spectacular evening. If you have a camera and you want some great shots, make sure to head on past the Sol Meila hotel where you will find some of the best spots for watching the sun set in Sitges.
Alternatively you might just want to laze the day away sipping a coffee in one of the many restaurants in Sitges. One particular good one, for the viewing the beach and the sea is Picnic.
If you go a few miles outside Sitges and past the Terramar Hotel your chances of seeing the Sun dip into the sea are even higher. This shot was taken on Friday as some of the larger boats from Barcelona made there way into Sitges for a weekend of partying. And yes he was parasailing. He looks like hes sailing higher than he actually is so we couldn't resist taking the shot.
Just another weekend in Sitges… beautiful sea, beautiful sights, beautiful sunsets.

Assuming you have the perfect apartment or Guest Room, take breakfast in one of the many cafes facing the sea. Then pop on the train to Barcelona and head for CatheHelicopters. Barcelona is a beautiful city and its architecture looks even more amazing from the Sky. It really is romantic as you take in the breataking views over the mountains and down into the city itself.
Do some shopping when you finish… we recommend something expensive with a diamond or two… or for those looking for something more unique, try the Encants Vells or “Old Gems” market whch is a cross between a jumble sale and an antiques market. Great fun!
On your return to Sitges, stop off at the Hotel Romantic for a nice cool crisp glass of Cava.
Then after your little Siesta, head out for a nice dinner. Want something traditionally delicious, then try Monroe's. Want something different and exotic, they try Siithai. Want to blow your budget, then try La Fragata. A full list of restaurants is available here.
After dinner, the entire of Sitges will be at your feet. As its Carnival every bar, club and late night cafe will be open and packed with people out to partry!
So enjoy!

Sitthai restaurant is a welcome addition to the Sitges restaurant scene. Beautifully decorated in traditional Thai-style, the restaurant is on two-floors with a relaxing chill-out area downstairs, a beautiful outdoor terrace and a large comfortable upstairs dining room.
The food is superb. We ate lunch there today with a party of 5. If you like Thai food then you will not be disappointed. They have even imported an authentic Thai chef. Food is reasonably prices and the service is friendly and relaxed. It definitely gets our recommendation.
A true dining experience for friends and family or for that special occassion, Sitthai is on C.Bonaire.
When you do pop-in make sure to say hello to the georgeous Ramon, the owner.
Oh and a special hello to the Barman in El Horno… where we all went after the grand-opening….
We recently received an email from two gay boys planning their forthcomming honeymoon. They wanted to have a honeymoon-to-remember, “something different, spectacular and memorable”.
They were definite on two points! 1. They wanted to stay in Sitges. 2. They wanted a 5-Star holiday. Now that we had their requirements, we set about putting together a dream holiday to remember….the highlights of which made it to the blog.
1. First, where to stay?
There really is only one option for those seeking true luxury in Sitges and that is the 5 Star Dolce Sitges resort. Although it is a bit far out of town, the service, views and atmosphere make the journey more than worth it. Note that this resort is not Gay, but very gay friendly.
The Dolce commands magnificent views over the golf course, the Mediterranean coast and this famous seaside town. Each of the hotels 263 rooms are beautifully designed with the latest amenities and incorporate terraces that offer coastal or pool views.
The two restaurants of the Dolce Sitges Hotel, the Verema and Esmarris offer superb Mediterranean cuisine and the opportunity to enjoy some terrace dining whilst taking in the exotic surroundings. The Malvasia Bar is great for pre-party cocktails or late-night nightcaps with that special someone.
The leisure facilities at the Hotel Dolce Sitges are superb and include four outdoor pools, fitness centre, indoor pool with spa centre including massages, sauna and beauty treatments…. perfect for the morning-after treatments! You have to look good in Organic after all!
From November to March, Dolce offers a special weekend rate of EUR 182.00 per person for two nights, including breakfast.
2. Something Really Memorable
The boys had never been sailing. Yachting around Sitges is one of the most popular activities during the summer. Whilst swimming in the sea you can view the amazing Yachts sail in and out of the bay. Sitges has a beautiful port and the surrounding Mediterranean coastline is truly spectacular. Stopping off for lunch at the little beaches of Cubelles or Cubit is a must.
There are several charter companies in the port area, all offering excellent service and full skipper services if required. We recommend Azul Sailing. for 2 reasons. First off, the staff are multi-lingual and secondly, you can skipper the entire Yacht yourself (provided you are qualified of course). Go for the Bavaria 50 Cruiser “New Dream” if you have the cash to splash.
3. Culture
The boys wanted to experience some unique Spanish culture away from the major tourist spots. They were also interested in wine. The Torres Vineyard immediately sprang to mind. Visiting in July can mean long-queues thoug as the winery can get exteremely busy at that time of year. So we opted for Spain's answer to Tuscany, the charming town of Priorat.
If you haven't heard of Priorat yet, you soon will. Home to some of the most expensive wines in Spain, this idyllic region has also become home to some of Europe's most notable celebrities.
Together with the stunning views of the Montsant natural park, there is the Moorish castle and Romanesque church at Siruana. History buffs with an interest in the Spanish Civil War can visit the sites of the Battle of the River Ebro, one of the most important and decisive of the war.
Of course the real reason to visit Priorat is for the wine. “Expensive, delicious and worth every penny”, was how the boys rated the trip on their return.
4. The Finishing Touch
The rest of the holiday was spent lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun on the gay beach and partying the night away in the many local bars and clubs. The finishing touch on the final night was a beautiful meal in one of Sitges most infamous of restaurants, La Fragata located at the very beginning of Passeo Ribera. (Telephone: +34 93 8941086)
