February. It's the Carnival!
by Labrix
Everybody in the town, tall, small, older, younger, fat, slim, drag queens, wonderful dancers or just funny people. Absolutely everybody is on the streets during the carnival with their own made dresses. There's no discrimination, is not necessary to be beautiful and/or great dancers to participate. All what you have to do is having fun!
Nobody sleeps in 3 days, and the best moments are the Sunday night and the Tuesday night, because it's when they made a big parade through the streets of the town.
The Sitges carnival is very famous in this area and many people come to see it. If you want to come, please check first the exactly dates, as they changes every year.

Beach!
by MM212
Known as a seaside resort, Sitges offers many sandy beaches for the visitors. Beware though, during the high summer months, it can be quite crowded. Why wouldn't be with its nearly uninterrupted sunshine throughout the summer? Although free public beaches are available, for a small fee one could rent a comfortable mattress and an umbrella in one of the more "private" beaches.
Museu Maricel de Mar
by MM212
Although not terribly ancient, the Maricel de Mar building is one of Sitges' most recognisable features. The building as it stands dates from 1911, but it was built on the foundation of an older chapel whose arches were incorporated in the existing building. It was rebuilt as a residence in an eclectic Gothic style, but now serves as a museum housing a collection of mediaeval artwork. Maricel de Mar is linked to the Maricel de Terra building by a bridge.
A place to relax

"Quiet beaches"
Theres not a huge amount of English tourists here mostly catalonian familys at their weekend villas. During the week the beach was never crowded and the sea was warm, at the weekend it was busier this was due to the catalonian families who appeare to have weekend homes in the town, but the beach was never over crowded.
