Sitges is an iconic town 20 miles south of Barcelona. Once an old small fishing village, nowadays it is one of southern Catalonia's favorite spots, due to its great beaches and happy disposition. It is well-known for its climate and its culture -- many writers, painters and intellectuals have chosen Sitges as their residence and place of inspiration.
Enjoy a pleasant guided visit to stroll through the Old Town, including highlights such as the local market, the Town Hall, the Romantic Museum, the Maricel Museum and the Sant Bartolomé and Santa Tecla Church.
To complete your morning, make the most of some free time to relax on one of the famous beaches of Sitges.
Next, proceed to Augustus Cellar, placed in a strategic position just over a mile from the Mediterranean Sea. It's a vineyard with a long history, set on the ancient Via Augusta which connected Cádiz with Rome when the Roman Empire was at its zenith.
The first vines were planted here in the 1980s and today the cellars produce amazing vinegars matured in oak barrels. They have won international awards for their wonder product.
Please note: Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. The Cellars are not wheelchair accessible. There are some steps on the site.
