Sitges gay bars
When it comes to lgbtq+ travel, Spain is one of the best and most exciting destinations you can visit.
We have experienced many of Spain’s accepted gay destinations but we have to say, Sitges is our favourite same-sex attracted hotspot in Spain!
Sitges is well-known for its Mediterranean beaches, pretty narrow streets, stunning marina and especially for its gay scene. The gay scene is so prominent here in Sitges, it takes centre stage in the main part of town. In fact, if you Google ‘Sitges’, it specifically mentions that it is filled with gay bars. This is not just a town or city with a gay scene; in our opinion it is a gay town!

About Sitges and its male lover life
Sitges is a small town 35 km south-western of Barcelona. In the late 19th century Sitges started to become a mecca for artists and a center for Modernist and post Art Nouveau architects.

Nowadays, Sitges' economy is based mainly on upscale tourism, business meetings and conferences. Unlike most other coasts in Spain which were taken over by inexpensive mass tourism in the 1970s and 1980s, Sitges fortunately preserved its exceptional atmosphere of a charming and pleasant (but also more expensive) place to relax and possess fun.
This attracted also more and more lgbtq+ tourists and expatriates, and in the 1990s Sitges became a gay hotspot. Especially in July and August Sitges is packed with gay men from
