Hot rhythms of Sitges Carnival

Sitges Carnival is famous for its truly spectacular parades, Rio de Janeiro style! Sexy dancers wearing only bikini and feathers, dancing vigorously to Latin rhythms. Decorated floats, fantastic theme costumes, and a lot, really a lot of fun!

Sitges is a famous and well established LGBTQI town, which adds an extra spice to the carnival.

LGBTQI community uniting in Sitges makes the carnival even more fun

This pretty coastal town with historical buildings and postcard-perfect views, gives an extra charming scenery to the party. Under the palm trees, with the sea and yachts behind you, on a warm night you can feel like in a faraway exotic place.

Wild, uninhibited, crazy party!

The small, cozy discos and bars of Sitges are great places to continue wild party. Everywhere in the narrow streets of the town people are drinking and mingling. The atmosphere is unforgettable.
