little town of sitges, 30 km from barcelona is really exceptional place. it was first mentioned in 10th century when small "sitges"castle was built on the rock overlooking the beach. during the following years houses were built around it, then a monastery and few more castles. first santiago rusiñol in "el cau ferrat'" and later charles deering in "palaco maricel", were most responsible for making sitges worldwide famous among artistic circles.
.................reco de la calma, sitges, spain, 2009
this little plaça "reco de la calma" squeezed between above mentioned palaces and 17th century seaside church of sant bartomeu i santa tecla, is unusually quiet [calma] and charming space in otherwise very dynamic town. sitges is extremely popular in mainly man gay population of europe, with unbelievable night life and rich shopping.
on small photos right taken on both sides of this plaça you can observe few bustling sights of sitges.
