SITGES: This Paradise is Just 25 Miles From Barcelona

Sitges is located just 35 kilometers southwest of Barcelona. It is known for its beautiful beaches, charming streets, and vibrant cultural scene. We spent the night in a lovely hotel right by the beach and had a great time exploring this beautiful town.

What a. Great place, nice and chilled... thanks for taking us along with you!

[@leeannewills5726]

Yay, you made it to Sitges!!! Isn’t it fabulous 😃. I’ve lived here for 23 years. Important: next time you are planning to visit, contact me for tips on bars/ restaurants because you went to the tourist trap places….lovely as they are, you pay a fortune. But I’m so glad you liked the town!! Enjoy your next location 👋👍

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, we will definitely be back.

[@phoenix0477]

Hey I'm at my in-laws in Sant Salvador right now. Coming to Sitges on Thursday. Any good places to eat (dog friendly?) We have friends who live half the year there, but they're more my in-laws friends. Lovely couple but they never let us in on the good places. Probably see us to much in Zaragoza 😂😂

[@leeannewills5726]

@@phoenix0477 Hola 👋, ok for lunch at a dog friendly restaurant, I would recommend “Incognito” on the Carrer d’ Europa (near post office) and for dinner perhaps “Komokieras” on the Carrer d’ Espalter. I don’t think this one is dog friendly…..but I would certainly recommend the Turbot fish 😃. For both places at this time of the year, you would need to make a reservation in advance. Wishing you a great time in Sitges!

[@mattsouter3929]

I’m definitely looking for recommendations for restaurants please?🙏🏼

[@leeannewills5726]

@@mattsouter3929 Hola, I posted yesterday…not sure why it didn’t come up. Dog friendly place for lunch would be Incognito Restaurant on the Carrer d’ Europa. They have a great set lunch menu for €18 for 3 courses including wine. Dinner,….there are many great places but if I had to pick, I would say the restaurant Komokieras on the Carrer Espalter. The Turbot fish is fabulous and the service very good, prices reasonable for a higher end restaurant. Otherwise, “El Castell” on the Carrer Carreta. There’s no outdoor terrace but the food is spectacular, although on the pricey side. The restaurant “Xampu Xampany” in the Oasis area has a great lunch and dinner menu. Under €20 a head for 3 courses with wine. Note that these places are not with sea view. They are places with seasonal local produce at reasonable prices (apart from El Castell). For general drinks, the bar “Maldita” in the Oasis area is friendly and reasonably priced. A large glass of rose wine costs €2,90 for example, a beer I believe is €2,50. It has a nice terrace and friendly vibe (no sea view). I hope this helps for now. Enjoy your time in Sitges!

Such beautiful weather, couple. Youve brought me Sunshine. Hugs to Helen, she is a true star.

Your Vlogs make such a difference. You’re both so natural in front of the camera. I’ve had an extremely sad couple of weeks with my mum passing so thank you for brightening my day.

Sitges is the first foreign place I ever visited (with my family) about 35 years ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

[@Graham-wu3oi]

I had a big smile on my face watching this. I appreciate your effort in producing these videos as I know it’s not easy. Funny, informative and it feels like ‘family’. Great stuff……

[@1956306]

I always appreciate you mentioning the prices. It's very useful.

Great video guys, you put on whatever you want, that’s what makes you great watching/ content, love the fact that you mix things up - van life/ hiking/ food review/ Homls abroad - don’t stop doing what your doing ❤❤❤

Stay true to yourselves! That's what we love about you!! 😊 Have a fab time, both!!,.. cant wait for the next upload! Enjoy the adventure! 🤩 👍 💚

[@paulreid2613]

I have said this before but as far as we are concerned your vlogs and a few others are why we turn onto You tube. We watch because you and Helen are so bloody entertaining, the vlogs are never long enough and we appreciate the thought and time and effort that go into making them. THANKS Kay and Paul x

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, I've got lots more vlogs in the pipeline :-)

[@metalbears4839]

I've been to Sitges about 20 times and Voramar is by far my favourite bar/pub in the whole of Sitges

I love the sunshine and the architecture you capture. Glad you guys are having fun. Helen really suits that dress, she looks lovely and you look very dapper in your hat James. El sithee 😂😂😂

Went to Sitges last year and when I left, my heart refused too, so my heart remains there. It is as beautiful as it looks, if not more when you are there. I,m happy that I left my heart in Sitges. ❤ Btw love watching you both, your a absolute pleasure keep the uploads coming. 😊

[@paulinehardy7523]

Loved this video brought some good memories back. I travelled to Sitges in the early 70's and how as it changed. Refreshing watching you both exploring as always Helen looking stunning. Sitges was more like a fishing village in those days and very cheap to eat and drink .

[@leeyoung9469]

Super vlog amigos. You’re soaking up the life of us folk who have made the move to live our lives Europe. Piece of advice…find where the locals eat and drink. More authentic food and much, much cheaper.

[@janefriel6895]

Very beautiful. Thank you both for sharing. ❤❤

[@winnerwinnervegandinner4678]

Sitges is gorgeous! We went two years in a row and nipped into Barcelona on train. The night life and beaches were amazing as well. You’ll have to go back during Festa Major, it is absolute mayhem but an experience.

[@tinastock8540]

Sitges is still as beautiful after 35 years of me going there, most of the gays were Italians when I was there ,love the hat better than a cap, best beach I ever went on . Thanks for showing love your vlogs x I go spain every year

Looks a really beautiful place guys! Been looking forward to this next vlog and it’s fab! Love the hat James 😊. Keep the blogs coming and have a fab time 🥰

James , please stop censoring Helen, it kills me not knowing what she said😂, just add a ❌warning at the beginning of every vlog that features the Helebob 😉💕

You didn't look out of place with your new hat on. In fact you look a proper cutie wearing it. Sitges looks quite picturesque as you're walking along the seafront, with a nice mixture of the old and the new. Looking forward to your next destination!

I went to Valençia in the 90’s as some students stayed at my Mums house over here and I went over to stay at one of theirs in Sueca Valençia. There was a massive Gulliver as a park, his finger alone was a slide and his hair and you could climb all over him, I had two young sons at the time. Also the Fallas festival around April is the best and lasts for weeks. I just love Spain, the paths and houses with tiles on etc the weather makes it all even more stunning x x x Can’t wait to see your Valençia trip x x x

[@ConfusedGrapes-sg3dh]

Needed this lovely change of Scenery..Thank You Gorgeous Views

Sitges is a lovely town. My wife's auntie once owned a bar there, only up to a few years ago (Paddy's Bar), which was along one of the narrow lanes.

I'm feeling a 30 minute comedy series on ITV. Is Sitges the new "Benidorm?"

[@susanaescriba977]

Two totally opposite societies.

[@mitcoes]

Because of the contrast, yes. It is like "upstairs downstairs" soap opera.

I loved that as a Yorkshire lad when you first started your blog you spoke as a Wakefield lad, now you both try to speak "reight" but you both fall down into Yorkshire... Remember "I think I'll have a WESH".

Lovely place! Loving your hat James ! Have a wonderful time x

11:00 - that is typical! When I film things I'll get right to the end of a shot and our Gert will say sommat like 'Hey, look at that' ruining the whole thing 😂

Great vlog guys Nice of you to take time to mention sun protection as my wife lynn had small abnormality on her face which was removed and only left a small scare but not nice to go through so thanks for highlighting the need for sun protection❤ Beautiful place and well covered by you both ,found it entertaing and fun thanks.

Hi James, you mention in a previous vlog about the extra care you are devoting to your beard. Can I say in my humble opinion 'keep it grey' it's more dashing. But at the end of the day as my grandad used to say " if it suits the wearer, bugger ther starer. 🙂
