Arguably Catalonia's most famous resort, Sitges is located around 30 kilometres south of Barcelona and is easily reached by train or bus from Barcelona airport. Due to its proximity to Barcelona it is a popular retreat all year round (see below for events listing) and enjoys a character most Spanish seaside towns lack. Sitges is charming, with its long promenade, modernist architecture and many beaches overlooked by its emblematic 17th century church. There are clubs, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and and a wide range of sporting activities to enjoy. Sitges is a 30 minute train journey from the centre of Barcelona (4 trains every hour) and the ideal base from which to explore its larger neighbour. Other attractions close by include the Port Aventura theme park and water park (1 hour by train), Aqua Leon safari park and water park (45 minutes by car), the Roman remains at Tarragona and not forgetting the nearby railway museum at Vilanova.
