Gay attractions in Sitges are closely linked to the town's history as a queer destination, which goes back a long way. As early as the 1930s, the Platja de l'Home Mort on the outskirts of the city was considered one of the first gay beaches in Europe, and to this day, the gay beach section is a fixed point of reference for queer travelers. If you want to understand the place, it's best to start at the seafront promenade and the central La Bassa Rodona, which has long been considered the main beach of the scene.
Beyond the beaches, the compact old town is worth checking out, with its whitewashed alleys, the church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla on the rock above the sea and the museums from the time when Sitges was a meeting place for Catalan artists around 1900. The main queer date in early summer is Sitges Pride, which in 2026 will run from Wednesday 10 June to Sunday 14 June, with the big parade on Sunday afternoon. In addition, the famous Carnaval in February dominates the picture, in which the scene with its own parades and parties plays a large part. This will be followed by Bears Week in September. If you want to get to know Sitges not only as a party destination, but also through its long queer history, you will find many points of contact here. The following places will take you to the most important stations.
