Carnival… who will you be?

Carnival Sitges 2009

With Carnival just a few weeks away, make sure you get your very best costume together…. You don’t have to dress up, but the locals will put you to shame if you don’t! A huge amount of effort goes into each costume and this year’s theme is still a closely guarded secret… But as per usual, expect everything from Cowboys to Trannies at this event!

Check out last year’s parade photos below.

The perfect cappuccino….

Cappuccino Sitges

In between dodging falling plants and crashing windows in the storm on Saturday, we popped into El Arte Del Cafe… fortunately they had electricity…and delicious vanilla Cappuccinos…. EL Arte del Cafe is the perfect place to sit and relax with a coffee, snack or light meal, day or night.
