Barcelona, Spain

Our last full day in Spain is spent in the seaside town of Sitges.

We left the hostel at ten am and caught the train from Barcelona Sants to what we thought was Sitges, but ended up on the wrong line and got off at St. Vincence. Fortunately, a train back to Sitges was only five minuets away, and only a 20-minute trip. So, our 40-kilometer trip ended up taking two hours.

When we arrived, we walked through the town to find a place to eat. We ended up at a chicken shop, where we ate inside.

Afterwards it was straight to the beach. Even though Sitges is a very touristy town, the beach is beautiful, and relatively uncrowded. We spent three hours lazing around and swimming in the Mediterranean, until 3.30 pm when we started our journey back to Barcelona.

The trip home only took us half an hour, as the train followed the coastline.

After showering and changing, we went out again. We ate dinner at a pizza place on La Rambla.

After dinner we walked along the street as they had some markets set up. We walked back over to one of the outdoor areas and had a couple of beers, once again watching all types wandering by. We were back at the hostel at one am to struggle for some sleep in our hot room.
