And what a coincidence, they are here during the celebration of the Sitges Carnival. We would like EVERYBODY to join us at this time to offer a warm welcome as a town, showing that we are welcoming people and that this is a land of poets and artists where culture is part of our lives, and that everything oozes artistic creativity. So as soon as they arrive, we will receive them with all the joy and warmth of the wonderful town of Sitges, of which they also have a piece inside.
To follow: a guided route through some of the most emblematic streets of the town
All together we will show our relatives Nuestro Sitges Amado (our beloved Sitges), a new route created by AGIS (the Association of Informative Guides of Sitges), that highlights the characteristic spots and elements of our beloved Sitges. (Registration is not required).
