For nature lovers, taking an excursion to the Garraf Natural Park is the ideal plan. You can access this protected natural area on your own or do one of the many guided activities offered, most of them suitable for family activities, such as dramatized tours or children's carvings.
And the Garraf Natural Park, is not the only green landscape or opportunitie to admire nature, since, very close to the HolaCamp campsites in Sitges, you can explore routes on foot or by bike, enjoying spectacular landscapes surrounded by vineyards and the tranquility of the natural environment.

Whenever we spend time in nature, it is important to remember that we must behave responsibly, not to throw garbage and to always leave everything better than we found it.

Although the surroundings of Sitges are impressive, you don't have to leave the city to be amazed by its views. That's why we leave you a list of the essential plans to discover the most beautiful corners of Sitges.

The Church of Sant Bartomeu and Santa Tecla heads the promenade that ends at the Terramar Gardens, and along the way you can find other points of interest such as the famous statue of the Mermaid or the Baluard Canyon. If you have the opportunity, we recommend that you don't miss a sunset in front of the sea.

How to get there and get around
To get to Sitges, coming by train from Barcelona is, without a doubt, the best option. For this reason, we recommend the R2Sud, the train line that connects Sitges to Barcelona in just 40 minutes. In any case, Sitges is very well connected, both with Barcelona and with other neighboring towns.
If you are coming by car, getting to Sitges is very easy. Just take exit 30 of the C-32 in the direction of Sitges and follow the signs to the city.
To get around the city you can use any of its three bus lines, which run between the north, east and west. Although the best, and most comfortable option is to move on foot.
In addition, Sitges also has two interurban bus companies, which connect Sitges with neighboring towns, such as Sant Pere de Ribes, Vilanova and Barcelona. You can check the schedules and stops on their websites:
- Autocars Plana Company (In high season there is a Port Aventura - Sitges coach service)
- Bus Garraf company (It has stops at the HolaCamp campsites: Càmping Sitges and Rocamar)
And if you come to Sitges from the airport, don't worry, because a Bus Garraf bus leaves for Sitges from T1. However, if you arrive at Terminal 2, you must first transfer to Terminal 1 with the free airport shuttle.
