Carrer Joan Tarrida in the Gay Village of Sitges is home to the BUKKAKE Cruise Bar. In the front, you can relax at the bar, in the back there is a large darkroom area, a maze, private cabins, slings, showers and lockers. Admission usually includes a free drink. It is considered the last remaining pure cruising address in the town.
Located at Carrer de Joan Tarrida 9, Man Bar is a cruising address in Sitges' gay scene. Subdued lighting and music set the mood, the bar zone flows smoothly into cruising-friendly areas. The offer includes strong drinks, and the service is considered friendly. Discretion and a relaxed bar atmosphere are in the foreground.
A classic gay sauna plays a smaller role in Sitges than in the big Spanish cities. Unlike in Barcelona or Madrid, where there are several permanent gay saunas, the offer in the small coastal town is manageable, and sauna life is not one of the defining parts of the scene. If you are looking for wellness, steam bath and peace and quiet, you are more likely to find what you are looking for in the spa areas of larger hotels than in a pure men's sauna.
What actually makes Sitges special in this area takes place outside. The gay beach culture here is older and better known than anything else, especially the Platja de l'Home Mort, in Spanish Playa del Muerto, which is considered one of the oldest gay beaches in Europe. Located just outside, the section is only accessible on foot via a path along the railway tracks, the pine forest behind it has long been known as a cruising area. The more central beaches of Balmins and La Bassa Rodona also have a predominantly gay crowd in the summer. Anyone looking for this should observe the usual rules on discretion and consideration, especially because much of it takes place in semi-public space. A pure indoor sauna scene does not replace this, but it shapes what Sitges is all about in this respect. The following tips will show you where a visit is worthwhile.
