Outstanding and varied shopping
Shopping is a fundamental part of Sitges’ tourism options, thanks to the wide variety and high quality of its stores. Most are small shops with a family feel and unique products, while avoiding conventional shopping options. These are establishments committed to being original and modern. In addition, Sitges has flexible opening hours so many are open on Sundays and public holidays.
The main shopping area, with many shops specially devoted to fashion and accessories can be found on the streets in the town center.
Another special feature are Sitges’ antique shops and markets, like the one held on Thursday that has been set up around the Town Hall and Parish Church since the Middle Ages. At this market you can find clothes and household utensils, among other products.
The mercat dels sentits (market of the senses) is located in the La Torreta area and has many different stands that mainly sell handicrafts, costume jewelry and clothes. This market is open weekends in winter and every day in summer.
Restaurants: Gastronomic capital of Garraf
Sitges has an extraordinary gastronomic variety that takes the world-renowned Mediterranean cuisine to the highest level. Tasting fish and rice-based specialties from Sitges’ cuisine, along with other avant-garde, contemporary dishes, makes for a unique experience for the taste buds.
Sitges offers truly top class restaurants, and many of them are brought together as members of the Club de Tast gourmet food tasting club, a group that works together to guarantee the quality of its products and offer excellent cuisine with great attention paid to all the details. Indeed, the top quality of the dishes served at Sitges’ restaurant tables has earned it a much deserved reputation as the gastronomic capital of Garraf.
Its traditional Xató is a cold dish made with escarole lettuce, chunks of desalted codfish, salted tuna, anchovies and arbequina variety olives. This salad is served with a dressing made of garlic, almonds and hazelnuts, anchovies, blanched nyora peppers, fried bread, chili pepper, olive oil, vinegar and salt.
The renowned quality of wines with the Garraf Designation of Origin label and Malvasia, Sitges’ traditional sweet wine made from the grape variety of the same name and classified as a Slowfood bastion, also invites us to enjoy the pleasures of fine dining.
