Saturday Night saw dragons and beasts of fire from the surrounding towns, decend on Sitges to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Sitges Dragons…
Accompanied by the usual drummer bands, locals and tourists, the town came alive to the sights and sounds of another Santa Tecla…
The drummers even dropped by GaySitgesGuide’s offices and performed a special routine for us!
