These two beaches are separated by the old quarter and its church facing the sea. Not far from the old quarter, you can admire the houses of the "Indianos", the name given to people who had become rich in the Spanish colonies. These mansions were built at the turn of the 20th century. Every year in Sitges you can attend events such as the Fantastic Film Festival, the Sitges Carnival or the Rally Barcelona-Sitges of vintage vehicles. To go from Barcelona to Sitges or back, it is possible to take the coastal road between Sitges and Castelldefels. Halfway is the village of Garraf, and the Bodega Güell, the work of Antonio Gaudí.
