Sitges
Sitges is one of our favourite small Spanish towns. It’s also one of the most gay warm towns we have been to with some excellent gay beaches.
The thing we like most about the gay beaches in Sitges is that they are easy to access. We have found that in many destinations, the queer beaches are quite secret and it can grab a lot of endeavor to find them. However in Sitges, the main gay beach is right in your face in front of the town centre.
