The Sitges Hills Area
The beautiful countryside just outside of Sitges is an ideal location for those looking for a holiday with more space and tranquility and yet still being close to Sitges town, the beaches and all of the other fantastic attractions the area has to offer. Another great benefit of a holiday in this area is that the property rental prices are lower and so you get a lot more for your money.
Just a few minutes inland from the bustling seaside resort of Sitges is a completely different world. This is a beautiful area of pine covered hills bordering the magnificent Garraf Natural Park on one side and the world-famous Penedes wine and cava producing region on the other. Verdant vineyards and historic Masias fill the valleys and attractive communities dot the wooded hillsides.
