Location

Sitges is located in the Spanish Mediterranean coast, 35 Km south of Barcelona. It has an area of 43.7 Km2 with a height over the sea level of 10 meters. We find the town in the southern end of the Massif of El Garraf, a mountain range of calcareous rock that occupies a surface of 312 Km2 and during many years has been a natural barrier between Barcelona and Sitges.

The C-32 freeway (earlier known as A-16) joints Sitges with Barcelona in 30 minutes, and with Tarragona in 45 minutes. There is a freeway access to the freeway AP-7 in Vilafranca, that in North direction, arrives until the Junquera and connects with the network of European freeways, and in South direction with the rest of Spanish freeways.

The Barcelona International Airport, the Prat, is 28 Km north of Sitges. The airport operates with the great majority of airline companies. Many daily flights link Barcelona with the rest of cities of Spain and Europe, as well as with of other continents. The airlift guarantees a continuous connection with Madrid.

Climate

As consequence of a  privileged emplacement, Sitges enjoys a soft and hot climate, which produce moderate winters and favaorable summers. The kindness of this climate is due to the fact that the village is near the sea and sheltered by the Mazizo del Garraf, which with its height blocks the way to the cold winds of the North and Northwest and of the strong wind streams of the interior.
