Sitges, a charming coastal town in Spain, is considering implementing a tourist tax to control overcrowding and improve the quality of life for residents. This method, similar to the one in Venice, aims to discourage day-trippers from visiting without staying overnight. Sitges is known for its beautiful old town, crystal-clear beaches, and Mediterranean views that attract both Spanish and international travelers seeking a relaxed lifestyle and favorable climate year-round.

The old town of Sitges, with its cobblestone streets and modernist mansions, is a must-see for visitors. Exploring the Palacio Maricel, a stunning building with a rich history, and the Parroquia de Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, a baroque church offering panoramic views of the sea, are also recommended. Sitges’ beaches, including the popular Fragata beach and the nudist-friendly Balmins beach, are internationally renowned for their beauty and variety.

With its cultural heritage, picturesque scenery, and inviting beaches, Sitges continues to be a top destination for tourists seeking a relaxing getaway on Spain’s sunny coast.
