# Sitges Sitges is a charming coastal town located just 35 kilometers southwest of Barcelona, in Catalonia. Known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant cultural scene, and bohemian atmosphere, it has become one of the most popular seaside destinations in the region.

The beachfront promenade, or "paseo marítimo," is perfect for leisurely walks while enjoying Mediterranean views.

The LGBTQ+ community is particularly welcome here, and the town celebrates this diversity with various pride events and festivals. For visitors interested in history and culture, Sitges offers several museums, including the Museu Cau Ferrat, which houses an impressive collection of art and artifacts from the modernist period.

Hiking trails
From half-hour strolls to full-day hikes. Trails are rated by difficulty (easy, moderate, hard), distance and elevation so you can pick the one that suits your dog's fitness level — and yours.
Dog-friendly beaches
Spain has more and more designated dog beaches where your companion can swim and run free. Here you'll find the ones we know, with information on seasons, facilities and rules.
Nature and parks
Gardens, viewpoints, natural spaces and theme parks where dogs are welcome on a lead. Perfect for easy-going exploration days or when energy levels aren't quite up to a long trail.
Travelling with your dog: practical rules and tips
In most natural spaces in Spain, dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. This applies to national parks, natural parks and biosphere reserves. Always check the specific rules for each area before you set off, especially during nesting season (spring and early summer).
In Andorra, dogs must be on a lead in all natural spaces without exception. It's a rule that is both enforced and respected. In return, the country has an exceptional network of hiking trails, perfectly signposted, and an attitude towards pets that few regions in Europe can match.
On mountain trails, keep an eye on your dog's paw pads: rocky terrain can be tough on them if they're not used to it. Always carry enough water for both of you, and in summer plan to set off early to avoid the hottest part of the day.
