SITGES

Good evening,

Hope you are all well....

Today we did indeed go to Sitges.  We hopped the train from central Barcelona to this gorgeous sea side town.  The train was 4 euros one way for each of us.  Total round trip just 16 euros!  What a deal...

Lots of photos today, sit back with your coffee, tea, wine, beer, or sparkling water and enjoy.......

The ride only took about 50 minutes.  We arrived and stopped at the Turisimo building and they told us all about the place.

We headed off to a delicious mid-day meal and it is there that we discovered that they speak Castilian in Sitges.  There was very kind woman about 75 or so years young who helped us get our meal ordered.  We didn't understand a word the waiter said--nothing was familiar.  We wondered if she was the owner as she was giving the staff orders.  She was drinking red wine, writing, and on her iPhone.  Thank you Andrea!

Turns out that she is a recent widow, of 5 months, and a therapist.  We had a wonderful conversation over lunch and wine.  Her husband was a famous artist. You can see his work at this site:  http://www.marcegger.com/es/home/

The town had very few people wandering around and at times felt like we had it to ourselves.  

We didn't do much research into the town or history (we will).  Our goal was to get to the sea side and walk, and walk, and walk and take photos so that is exactly what we did.  

We hope you enjoy what we saw.

Love and hugs,

Ellie and Gary

​P.S.  I did splurge and get the scarf below :)
