Summer comes to and end with ‘
Santa Tecla’ festivity in ‘Sitges’, a town with lots of charm located less than 40 kilometres away from Barcelona. In honour of its Saint Patron, ‘Santa Tecla’, they celebrate a festivity since 1353, much more intimate than the one celebrated a few weeks before because of their ‘fiesta mayor’. ‘Sitges’ is also well known for its
Carnival and its
International Film Festival celebrated at the beginning of October. You should make some room
from the 15th to the 24th of September in your agenda.
This festivity is specially for children, so before September arrives they start designing and making themselves costumes. Imagination is essential in this process that they enjoy profoundly. Some dress themselves as dragons or eagles, and rehearse their dances during weeks for this celebration. Besides this ‘matinal infantil’ there is also a parade in honour of its Saint Patron as well as traditional dances that the inhabitants of the city await expectantly.
In ATIPIKA we recommend you these festivities that preserve old traditions in this city where we also have some properties available. This 50sq m
flat overlooking the sea in the centre of the city is a perfect example, it is located just a short walk from the beach and the ‘Club Náutico’. It has a living-dining room, a separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a fully-equipped bathroom. It is bright, with wooden floors and double glazed windows, and has heating and air conditioner as well.
Contact us if you want to know more about this or other apartments and enjoy ‘Sitges’.
