Fiesta Mayor Fireworks

If you were on the Ribera side of the church this year for the Fiesta Mayor Fireworks, then you may have had difficulty seeing many of the fireworks that were high in the sky, due mainly to the extreme humidity and the lack of any wind at sea, to blow the smoke away.

The best views were on the San Sebastian side of the church, particularly high-up by the Hotel Melia Sitges.

They were truly spectacular and despite the smokey view, the atmosphere on the beaches was amazing, as it always is in Sitges!
