Sitges<\/span><\/h2>\n

We are now back in Spain, on the Costa Daurada in the Catalan region, just below Barcelona.\u00a0 We visited this local town on a grey windy day but the views were still wonderful and the sun did come out for a while, just long enough to remove our jumpers, have lunch and a drink, and then walk back to the town. \u00a0 We were joined by friends Mike and Brenda, who introduced us to our current campsite in Vilanova.\u00a0 We can see the sea from our pitch, although it is about 5 miles away!!!\u00a0 Its that blue line on the horizon! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Sitges<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe town of Sitges is known for it’s artistic trends, sculptures adorn the promenades, art galleries are on every street and buildings show off their artistic design, and since the 1960’s when tourism arrived, it has attracted international residents – 40% of it’s population are Dutch, British and French. It’s also popular with the Spanish, probably for its 17 sandy beaches! Several are nudist beaches, and one is set aside purely for the gay community.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have also introduced Brenda and Mike to Finnish skittles, AKA Mulkky, in preparation for the tournaments we expect to win at Benicassim!!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
