Good morning, guys! ☀ If you ever travel to Barcelona, there are plenty of places and things to see in the city, like Parc Güell, the Ramblas or Barrio Gotico and a lot more... But if you have a little bit more time in the beautiful city, I highly recommend you taking a trip to Sitges, a beautiful small town near of Barcelona.

You can take the train from Passeig de Gracia or Sants, which takes about 45 minutes. Once you're there, make sure you visit the historic old town. The buildings are beautifully made and look very authentic.
There are some museums worth visiting, too, such as Casa Bacardi and Museum Maricel. If you are interested in art, there are plenty of stunning art galleries.

Walking through the small streets, you'll notice Sitges has a lot of little, authentic shops and boutiques. I love to stroll through the pedestrian zones and stop once in a while to look at the shop windows. One shop I really like is the guru shop cel i terra. They have beautiful jewelry, pareos, clothing and lots of incense sticks.

Sitges is a true beach town. Though I find it very full of people, it is worth walking through the promenade and enjoy the beautiful view over the ocean. Also, you can not miss the beautiful church at the beach, overviewing the ocean and the city of Sitges.

If you are into partying, you can not miss the party zone around the street Carrer Primer de Maig. During the day, it is full of restaurants and cafes, but when it gets dark, big party is happening here.

Sitges has a lot of good restaurants and also some vegan places to go. I can really recommend you to visit Dosa Nova. As you can see in the picture, they have fun, colorful dosas and damn, they're so good! And so healthy, too! Dosa Nova is a vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan options. Also, make sure you try one of their fresh made juices! This restaurant is perfect to have some lunch.

For dinner, I'd recommend you to go to Lady Green, also a vegetarian-vegan healthy foods restaurant. I love the vegan deserts they have, especially the NY cheese cake.
