    Voramar 2:00 is indeed the oldest pub in Sitges. my mom ( rest in peace) used to sing there in the late 70's.
    Rum BACARDI is originally from Sitges, and PICASSO lived there 6:40 some time while he was learning from Master Ramon Casas.
    Parrots 23:00 is probably the most Legendary LGBTQ Bar in the Country.
    and Tito's 23:40 is the Pub where My parents knew each other in 1980. Consequently I was Born!

    Great beach in Sitges, I went there a few years ago. Lovely sea front. Looks very quiet in the 'off' season. By the way, Bacardi Rum originates from Cuba - the Bacardi family may have originally come from Sitges though. Nice vid. New friend in The New Forest. Best wishes, Rob
