Description of Sitges and Vilanova i la Geltru
This page is about the coastal towns of Sitges and vilanova i la geltru. Both are reachable via train from barcelona on the Rodalies L2 route and are 40 and 50 minutes journey time respectively.
Sitges is a large town that has plenty of festivals (see the Sitges beach town page) as well as many great museums and is a town that I visit several times throughout the year for the diverse activities and attractions.
The GR-92 coastal path runs the whole length of the Mediterranean coastline and is commonly referred to as La Ronda or Camino de la Ronda. The GR-92 passes via the most picturesque fishing villages and towns. I have included a section of this trail from Garraf to Sitges which starts and ends in coastal towns but heads inland a little way with coastal views.
