For solo travelers, I would not recommend a 2 or 3 star hotel (except for 3 the star Parrots and Subur)). They do not allow visitors, not even during the day. Been going to Sitges solo for 10 years now, if you want to bring a newly acquired "friend" to your hotel room, better stay at a 4 or 5 star hotel (Calipolis top of the list). Better yet, rent through the gay version of Airbnb, Misterb&b
That is very, very odd. Sitges is very gay friendly. In the hotels I've been staying, since 2013 visitors were always allowed. Hotel Santa Maria, Hotel Sitges, Hotel Medium Renaixanca, Hotel 1883, just to mention some 3 star hotels I've stayed.. Prices have risen tremendously lately, so if you're on a budget MR.B&B might be an alternative.
Great video guys!! I will be there in September for the first time by myself, I am little bit excited and your tips about the Sitges were like gold ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! It’ll be an incredible experience! The beach and Parrots for happy hour are two great places to meet fellow travelers to plan a fun night out! Have a great trip and safe travels! ✈️
Oh my goodness, what an amazing city! I cannot wait to check out Stiges and Barcelona. Thanks for posting this very informative guide about Stiges Spain. It's going to help me tremendously in planning get away trip to Spain later this year. Would you guys also recommend Madrid? Since, I'm going way north of Madrid in (Barcelona and Stiges), I don't know if a weekend trip to Madrid is worth it.
Our pleasure and thank you! Also be sure to check out our travel blog for best hotels to book and our favorite restaurant and bars! twogayexpats.com/destinations/spain/gay-sitges As far as Madrid, there are at least three amazing world class art museums if that’s of interest. The culture and history are just incredible there. If you have a week, we would split between Barcelona and Sitges. If you have 10-days to two weeks, definitely add Madrid by high speed train. You can fly into Barcelona and out of Madrid or vice versa to get the best fare!
We visited Barcelona a few years ago, but unfortunately we didn't have time to make it to Sitges! It looks like we should plan a trip there soon. Those beaches look amazing :)
Hi Andy and Trai, I'm planning a trip to Barcelona and Sitges next summer. I'm thinking of 2 nights in Sitges and maybe 4 nights in Barcelona. What do you think is better? Weekdays in Barcelona and then weekend in Sitges, or the reverse? Thank you so much for all your recommendations. I've used them for almost every trip in the past 4 years.
Awesome!! Sitges is only 40-mins from the Gayborhood in Barcelona so no worries!! Definitely weekend in Sitges!! We love both and you can’t go wrong with any split! Safe travels!!!
Thank you for replying. My friend and I got to know Jonathan, his mom and dad. 2020 was a horrible year for everyone so we had to cancel our trip that summer. Went back on 2021and saw him but he told me that the business was struggling. Went back on 2022 and my heart sank when I got to playa del muerto and the stand they had there and everything else was gone; like nothing was ever there. I was almost in tears. I will be back again this summer. Hope I can see him again. @@coriolan1963
I don’t even like to ask this question, but do you feel safe in sitges, I assume so as you’ve not mentioned anything. It’s just I read about some hate crimes, which I can appreciate happen anywhere
100% we feel completely safe in Sitges. The town is so busy and compact can’t imagine anything like that happening unless super late at night. Not a concern we would have in Sitges.
We’ve not been in December, but we can say it’s family friendly. There are lots of beaches in town with families and kids. We have not seen kids on the gay nude beaches like Playa del Muerto for example, but again, the beaches in town are perfect!
@@TwoGayExpatsIt’s in northern Spain so I doubt there would be many people on the beach in December. Also many facilities would be closed for the season. There is a carnival every year before the beginning of Lent, which I understand is popular. There are also various festivals through the autumn and winter, such as a film festival and vintage car rally.
Sitges is also very nice in December, but in winter time you'll get more rainy days. I wouldn't bring children because there is little to do in beaches. Children love sand and water and swimming in the sea in wintertime is not recommendable.
Have you been to gay Sitges?

Thanks for sharing! Calipolis is a very popular gay-friendly hotel for sure!

Hey there, is there nightlife from jan 2nd till 7th?
Surely, check the venues websites or instagram accounts for latest events, hours, etc. Safe travels!
Can anyone tell me who is running the bar at playa del muerto? Is it still Jonathan and his family?
We’re not sure but last we heard it’s the same family that’s been running it forever!
Omg, thanks. My friend and I had lost contact with him and his family.@@TwoGayExpats
Yes indeed. His mother retired last year, so it's now Jonathan. Such a nice and friendly guy.

Agreed! We were focusing on the kids aspect 😅 not December ! Thanks for catching that!!

Are there any black gay guys? Thanks for answering!
100% and you’ll meet people from all over the world in Sitges!
@@TwoGayExpats Thanks! 😉
