Its not every day that we get excited about the weather in Sitges, however given that we didn’t have the greatest weather in the last week or so, its nice to see the weatherman get all excited yesterday and use the words “Sunny and Delightful” to describe our future weather prospects.
Temperatures are set to climb to an average 25 degrees by this wednesday so get your butts to the beach and top up your tan!

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

This weekend saw the beaches packed with goodlooking guys, on holidays and in from Barcelona. Great! Maricia, our roving photographer for GaySitgesGuide.com, took some great shots while we were left to recover from an extended night out.
Remember, this weekend will be an extra long weekend as the Bank Holiday in most countries falls on a Tuesday, which means most people will be in Sitges for an extended stay, especially for the Bears Weekend.
There could be no complaining about the weather this weekend with temperatures hitting a high of 26 degrees on Sunday afternoon.
Expect lots more georgeous guys on the beaches of Sitges over the next few months. To find out where the best beaches are visit our “Beaches Section” on the guide. Have fun!

The summer is set to hit Sitges in 2007. We have’nt spoken about the weather for over 5 months now, but when we received these photos via email today we couldn’t but help remember the Summer of 2006.
The average temperature in Sitges during the Summer (April to October) is 24 degrees according to last year’s statistics. We can vouch for that. The beaches were swealtering during the Summer months!
Be sure to pack lots of sunscreen. And remember to ask nicely if you want someone to cover those hard to reach places! You have been warned, so no excuses!
Beaches in Sitges get busy from around 10am. We won’t go into stereotypes, but yes, there are towels on the sun-lounges even that early in the morning.
Remember, if you are extra nice to your beach-boy and tip him nicely, you can almost guarantee your seat on the beach! So choose a cute one… and a good spot, before you tip. Alternatively you can let it all hang out on Balmins Beach.
To find out where to go visit Gay Sitges Guide.com’s Beach guide and remember to check out our “What to wear” section to be sure you look extra hot this season.

When you’ve been in Sitges a while, its easy to become accustomed to the beautiful sights all around you. The next time you are walking on the promenade be sure to pay close attention to the edge of the walkway and look out for some beautiful sand sculptures.
Make sure if you take a photograph to reward the people who have put all of the effort into these creations.
The Homer Simpson creations are especially popular.
The best sand sculptures can usually be seen at the weekend close to the edge of La Fragata Beach. As the Summer season approaches, the sculptures take on even more spectacular guises! Gay Sitges Guide will keep an eye out for you and show you some of the best later on this year.

Sitges is just such a positive place to live in! The lifestyle, the weather, the people. You have to be here to truly experience all the town has to offer. Today it rained all day. Unusual for Sitges. And wow, were we treated to a spectacular sunset.
The sun sets over the Dolce Hotel every evening, but on Wednesday an exceptional rainbow covered the town, the first one I’ve seen in Sitges in 12 months.
The view from the Terramar hotel was even more spectacular. You could be anywhere in Spain as you watch the unusual palm trees sway in the evening breeze. If you are looking to have an evening cocktail then we highly recommend the front bar of the hotel. Here you can sip some spectacular concoctions while you watch the sun slip through the Mediterranean.
Just another day in Sitges and another reason to visit, any time of the year!

Last weekend saw some beautiful weather grace the shores of Sitges. We received many requests and questions from visitors already here, on how to get to the second Gay beach in Sitges – Playa del Muerto. Some people didn’t know it even existed.
First, head down to the end of the main promenade, twoards the Terrmar Hotel. On a warm day this can take anything up to 30 mins dodging rollerbalders, skaters, gay couples, buggies and old ladies! Alternatively you can take a taxi from the train station for EUR 10 approx.
Follow the train tracks by the sea. Don’t be tempted to take a short cut through the tunnels. The trains run at over 200kph here. Be careful!
You will know you are on the right track, padon the pun, when you begin to see the grafitti marking out the “Gay Zone”.
Take a left by this sign which points to Playa del Muerto. The beach has been popular with gay and naturist tourists since the early 1930’s when Sitges had a more bohemian feel.
The beach is a little bit pebbly so you will need your flip-flops.
There is a snack bar which offers cold drinks and sandwiches. Expect to pay a premium as its the only one for miles.
Accross the train tracks is the gay crusing zone. Just follow this sign until you hit the woods.
The wooded area attracts all ages and types. It is busy all year round, mostly in the afternoons and early evenings.
During Summer expect to see all sorts day and night!

Well, we can't but help feel sorry for most of Northern Europe at the moment. Battered by storms and winds of over 120kpm/hr, its weather we certainly don't miss. So we dug through our archive of Photos from last year and picked out some of the best beach photos we could find to make your winter evening that little bit warmer! Oh by-the-way….its 19 degrees here and there wasn't a cloud in the sky today. Wish you were here!

This is the view of Sitges main beaches as the sun sets on another extremely mild Winter's day. So you can imagine what it will be like during the summer! As the sun sets a beautiful orange glow covers the entire sky.
Sitges has a unique microclimate with over 300 days of sunshine every year. Sometimes Barcelona can be caught up in thunderstorms and clouds while gay boys and girls are getting an allover tan on the beautiful beaches of Sitges.
So whatever time you visit us, you're sure to be in for some great weather. It doesn't matter what the season, your're guaranteed it will be better than most of Western Europe of the US anytime!

We asked for it… a couple of days ago we were discussing how beautiful the weather was for December… and what happened… it's suddenly gotten decidedly cooler! But never mind. There is still plenty to do and the Winter sunshine here is a summer's day for most of us.
The late evenings are perfect for a walk along the beach, taking in the crisp air and marvelling in the beautiful views of the town, the sea and the mountains of the Penendes region.
The sunsets are still amazing in Sitges. The afternoons are long and warm… perfect for sipping a glass of wine and watching the gay boys walk by.
Walk down La Ribera and pop into a Churingito for a snack before taking off again to do some shopping, sight-seeing or just bask in the Winter sunshine.
There are so many restaurants along this long boulevard. Be sure to check all the menu's as there are some real hidden gems up towards the end of the Calipolis Hotel. Or alternatively, head over past the church for an even wider choice of food and take in the view the spectaular evening sky when the mountains grow closer as the sun goes down.
Earlier on some boys braved the cold water and went for surfing. We even saw some people swimming in the sea later on in the evening. What they were on we don't know!
The surfers were out in force yesterday and the waves were perfect for some spectacular moves.
Jorge, the surfer in the photo below, was by far the best on Saturday morning. He surfs most weekends early in the day so be sure to check him out!
Sitges is taking on a more seasonal air this weekend with the unveiling of the Christmas Tree in Cap de la Villa, (the town square).
Different in every way, the tree is very “Sitges”, in that it is more a piece of art than a Christmas Tree. But that is what Sitges is all about… that little bit of difference is accepted as normal.
Where else could you leave a Christmas Tree with glass, real candles and lights in the centre of a town, safe in the knowledge that the only thing anyone is going to do is admire it!
