Gay Sitges
Sitges is a classic seaside town a stone’s throw from Barcelona where people from all over the world come to enjoy beaches and Summer sun, but it remains popular year-round thanks to its thriving gay scene. Bassa Rodona is the main gay beach where you can relax with crowds of other tourists, but there are also nude beaches such as Balmins if that’s your thing. Heading into town you’ll find picturesque streets that come to life at night, where Plaça Indústria is the hub of gay nightlife. During the day you can visit loads of boutique shops and eateries too.
