We are so glad we visited Sitges recently. We took a day trip from Barcelona, where we stayed for two weeks prior to a fabulous Viking cruise. Bet we were in Barcelona the same time you were in Sitges — cloudy and cool most days. But the day we took the train to Sitges was beautiful. We could see ourselves in Sitges long-term. Enjoying your posts!

Sounds like a wonderful visit, even with the weather! Dumb question department: how do you pronounce Sitges?

Beautiful photos, as always, Michael. When you do Mediterranean cruises, do you have a preferred cruise line? What kind of cabin do you look for? Our plans for an extended stay in Europe proceed. We've now added Sitges to our list for while we're in Spain regardless of season -- you've shown us the beauty of the non-seasonal life there. Thanks!

It’s too bad you had such awful weather while in Sitges. I experienced the same in Malaga the first two weeks in March. Weather aside, Sitges is such a wonderful place. I fell in love with it 20 years ago and have wonderful memories. Thanks for your story and can’t wait to see the photos on FB!

Dear Michael: The more I see of Spain, the more I place it at the top of the countries I want to visit. Right now, I'm watching 3 Spanish series which are filmed in Espana. I just finished "3 Caminos", which is filmed along the Camino de Santiago in Spain. It is one of the best series I've seen in a long time. It has a multinational cast and uses multinational languages for the dialogue. "Elite", which is filmed somewhere close to Madrid, is set in a privileged high school, Las Encinas, and tells the stories of day to day lives of about 10 high school students. Of course, most of the actors playing the roles are approaching the age of 30, but the eye candy and romantic activity are worth the watch. There's 5 seasons of this show, and I'm halfway through Season 4. Finally, I'm watching "The Boarding School" on PBS. It's set in 1920s Sevilla, and it involves drama, along with many beautiful scenes of Sevilla. Sevilla came on my travel destination radar because the Cathedral there houses what remains of Hernando Colon's library. Oh, and Hernando's Dad is buried there, too. He's a man by the name of Christopher Columbus. So, many thanks for the pictures of Sitges.
