Every year lots of people travel to Sitges, near Barcelona to experience the biggest and wildest Carnival of Catalunya. Sitges, also known as ‘little Ibiza’ is a popular vacatiob destination for the gay and alternative community. Sitges is stationed just outside Barcelona. Travelling to it is easy, 30 minutes by train from the Sants or plaza Catalunya train station.
