Sitges – Now and Then

Sitges was always a popular town for tourists! Just take a look at how the Riberia and Fragata beaches looked at the end of the 1930’s.

Old Sitges

Today we can see the promenade takes over most of the front of the beach and the piers have been added due to coastal erosion.

NewSitges

The town however, still maintains its romantic charm.. perfect for an escape for two, or the chance to mee someone new!
