Travel Log

Getting There

Sitges sits on the coast, about thirty minutes south of Barcelona.

i

By Air

Barcelona–El Prat (BCN) is the airport to book — well connected across Europe and beyond, and the closest major hub to Sitges.

ii

By Road

Pick up a car at the airport. The drive along the C-32 is easy and scenic, and having a car makes the whole weekend simpler.

iii

Thirty Minutes to the Sea

A short half-hour drive and you're on the coast. Trains and taxis also run from Barcelona if you'd rather not drive.

Our recommendation: rent a car and make a weekend of it. Stay in Sitges through the 19th and take time to enjoy the beautiful coastline, charming streets, and incredible food. Trust us—it deserves more than just one night.

The VenueThe two of us

Xalet del Nin

A Modernista villa on the coast at Vilanova i la Geltrú, just past Sitges — stone arches, tiled balconies, and gardens that run down toward the sea. This is where we'll marry on the 18th, and where we'll gather again by the pool on the 19th.

A gentle note

An Intimate Celebration

As much as we would love to celebrate with everyone, we are unable to accommodate additional guests. To create the intimate celebration we have always envisioned, we are not offering plus ones.

Please know that if your invitation includes only your name, we warmly invite you to celebrate with us on your own. We truly appreciate your understanding and can't wait to share this unforgettable day with you.

A Few Notes

Small details to make the weekend easier.

Guests

We're keeping the weekend intimate, so invitations are for named guests only — no plus ones. Thank you for understanding.

Weather

October in Sitges is gentle — days around 68–72°F with plenty of sun, cooler once the light goes. Bring a jacket or wrap for the evenings.

Language & Currency

Spanish and Catalan are spoken; English gets you far. The currency is the euro, and cards are accepted almost everywhere.
