Sitges: A welcoming haven for Americans and all nationalities

Let's talk about Sitges! Lately, we’ve seen more Americans showing interest in our charming town, located just 40 kilometers south of Barcelona. Often dubbed "Spanish California," Sitges offers a beautiful coast line, over 300 days of sunshine, and a strong LGBTQ+ presence, creating a vibrant and inclusive community. The town's proximity to Barcelona and its international airport adds convenience for travelers and residents alike.

Beyond Sitges, the surrounding areas should not be forgotten. For expample the town of Sant Pere de Ribes and Olivella, known as the Sitges hills, offer stunning views and outdoor activities. Olivella is a 15 minutes drive and the houses very affordable with a constantly growing Expat community. Nearby, the Penedès wine region beckons with a rich variety of cava (Spanish champagne) and wines, making it a perfect spot for wine enthusiasts.  For those considering a move to Sitges, Happy Expat homes&more and our new "Happy Expat Hub" located at Calle Sant Josep 37, provides invaluable support. We, Marion, Rossana, and Tania offer our services in 6 languages, including assistance with residency permits, visa, NIE, insurance, mortgages, finding friends and more.
