Point of interest

Passeig Marítim

in Sitges, Spain

The wide seafront promenade linking nearly the whole town along the coast — perfect for a sunset stroll.

Where it is

The seafront promenade runs along the Sitges bay, from the landmark church westward past the town's beaches.

Address: Passeig Marítim, Sitges

What it is

Lined with cafés, restaurants and beach bars, the promenade is the favourite place for a stroll, especially at sunset. It frames views over the Mediterranean and the beaches towards the church, and on summer evenings it becomes a lively place to walk and people-watch.

History

The promenade grew with the rise of Sitges as a seaside resort and is lined with palms and elegant Noucentista and Modernista villas. It embodies the town's image as a fashionable bathing resort since the late 19th century.
