Its been some 2 weeks…but it was definitely a Carnival Party to remember. We just wanted to say a quick word of thanks to all of the bars, clubs, restaurants and other establishments, their staff and owners, who have supported us during the event, to the performers for posing for us on the street and in the parade, to the people of Sitges for their unending enthusiasm, friendliness and party attitude, the police and emergency services for keeping us safe and to you our readers! Our sincerest thanks. With over 400.000 visitors attending it was one of the biggest and most successful Carnivals ever.
