With the spirit of a typical Mediterranean town and its perfect location between mountains and sea, it has become one of the most popular destinations in recent years. Our tour will begin with the magical stairs of the San Bartolome-Santa Tecla Cathedral as we wander through its historic streets. Built on the remains of an old Romanesque and Gothic church, this cathedral dates back to the 17th century. After admiring this magnificent cathedral, our next stop will be the historic streets of Sitges. Within the medieval city center lies the Maricel Palace and Museum, a rare example of Modernism that is truly a paradise for art collectors. Right across from it stands the Cau Ferrat Museum, the former home of Santiago Rusiñol, one of the leaders of the Modernist movement in Catalonia. He played a major role in making the town so well-known by beginning to exhibit his paintings here in Sitges. After walking through the narrow streets where the Sitges Festival, which attracts thousands of people every year and is known for horror and fantasy films, takes place, and seeing the colorful houses and charming bars, we will continue our journey. Valencia is one of Spain's three largest cities by population and boasts the country's largest port. In this city where the old and new meet, both historic buildings and modern structures coexist.
