Sunday night Jose Galisteo performed all of his hits live on the promenade.
The atmosphere was amazing as Spain had just won the world cup!
The entire town of Sitges gathered with local visitors to celebrate both the victory and the pride…. young, old, gay and straight all together having fun and dancing until 3am.
It was a perfect end to the Party on the Promenade.
Galisteo sang a range of songs from famous Spanish numbers to his international hits.
Aftewards the crowds danced to the disco beats, mixed by L’Atlantida supremo, Hector Noms.
A special thank you to all of the volunteers who worked the bar area. At times the queues were long, but everyone was served with a smile…
You can check out the photos of the concert and all of the events on Gay Sitges Guide below.

Saturday night during Pride and the Party in the Park took place at the Terramar Gardens.
Decadanse, the Party in the park attracted nearly 2,000 partygoers on Saturday night, with more than 1,200 on Friday night.
The Park, just 10 minutes from the centre of Sitges was transformed into a gay wonderland.
With a huge dancefloor and stage area including a live performance by the Gaydar boys and singers, it was the perfect place for those who like to party ’till 6am.
The other attractions were the foam in the fountain and the forest… yes the forest was unbelievably popular…
Decadanse will return to Sitges Pride in 2011..
It was one of the highlights of the Pride party circuit.
You can check out the rest of the photos on Gay Sitges Guide below.
The party attracted people from all around the world.
It was a great end to a Saturday which saw almost 40,000 people on the streets of Sitges for the Parade earlier on that afternoon.
Reports from hotels, shops and restaurants show that the weekend has been a huge success both from a visitor perspective and for businesses, introducing Sitges to a brand new group of customers.
Nearly 30 percent of tickets sold at the ticket office were to people who had never before been to Sitges. And all of them had one thing to say, “We will be back and next time, for even longer”

Hello everyone from Gay Pride Sitges… after a weekend of amazing work, fun and partying, its all about to end tonight with the Closing Party at the Gay Beach Party at L’Atlantida!
We are still waiting on official numbers, but no matter where you go or who you listen to, it was amazing, packed solid and a runaway success! To all those who said it would never happen… well.. thanks for the compliments over the past few days… and that is about as political as we get on Gay Sitges Guide!
A huge thank you to the Mayors Office, The Tourism Office, The Afgal Board, Afgal President Luis Enriquez, the volunteers and the businesses and people of Sitges who supported the event from the very beginning!
Our own special thanks to Miss Ruby and Lady Diamond whose dedication over Maspalomas and Barcelona Pride along with their spectacular performances at Gay Pride Sitges 2010 was nothing short of breathtaking.
The weather was perfect, the pride parade was amazing.. words simply can not describe the feeling in Sitges at the moment. As Lady Diamond said to a packed Paseo in Sitges.. Its like Christmas, Carnival and Fiesta Mayor all rolled into one!
And if you hear anyone telling you otherwise, they were either in the wrong town or the wrong mood..because the you would have to be crazy not to have enjoyed yourself in a FULL Sitges this Pride, as these photos prove.
Speaking of Photos, we had 2 photographers specially commissioned to cover the event as we did have our own float which made it difficult to give everyone coverage, so bear with us as we upload more than 4,000 photos of the event. Gay Pride Sitges also had an additional 6 photographers, plus the official press core, 5 television stations and a dedicated video team which will post content over the next week!
Finally, a huge thank you to my partner Andy for supporting me personally over the past year’s trials and tribulations to ensure that Pride was a success. I am proud to say that his donation of our company’s time and resources to AFGAL , together with the efforts of Luis Enriquez and the dedicated members of the AFGAL Board played a small part in making a little bit of Sitges History. Good Night and see you in Sitges for Pride 2011 – Dates coming Very Very soon! (Photo Galleries of all floats and events to follow on Wednesday).

Sitges very first Pride was launched formally on Friday the 9th of July at the hotel Calipolis.
Members of the press mingled with TV crews, local personalities, members of the council and tourism offices as well as AFGAL board members and volunteers.
With more than 12 months advance preparations, meetings and reviews, it was great to finally see the Pride festivities begin with the launch and the planned 5 days of events, parties and festivities.
Gay Pride Sitges aims to set a new benchmark for tolerance and tourism, working with the town to promote the ideals of Pride together with the fun and celebratory atmosphere for which Sitges is renowned.
