The Mediterranean waters off Sitges provide some of Spain’s most rewarding coastal experiences.
The basic 1.5-hour sailboat excursions (from $83.54) offer the best value, combining both exercise and sightseeing. I especially love the morning tours when the sea is calmest and the town’s whitewashed buildings gleam in the sunlight.
For history buffs, the combination sailing and walking tours are particularly satisfying – you’ll get both maritime views and intimate access to the town’s architectural gems, including the magnificent Palau de Maricel.
Wine enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the sailing-plus-winery options, featuring tastings of the local Malvasia wines, a specialty of this region.
