Sant Bartomeu church and the seafront
A church on a rock above the sea, with a whitewashed old town behind it and a promenade running the length of the beaches.
À propos Sant Bartomeu church and the seafront
ItinéraireSitges is forty minutes from Barcelona and looks nothing like it. The parish church sits on a low rock directly above the water, and it is the town's whole identity — visible from every beach, lit at night, and photographable from three completely different angles within a few minutes' walk.
Behind it the old town is narrow and white, with a Modernista streak left over from the artists who summered here in the 1890s. In front, a promenade of palms runs the length of the seafront.
The church faces roughly south-east over the water, so it takes early light on its face. At sunset you shoot it against the sky from the western beaches instead — two different photographs depending which end of the day you pick.
Meilleur moment pour photographier
Early morning for light on the church; sunset for it against the sky
Conseils
Forty minutes by train from Barcelona Sants, which makes it an easy second location on a Barcelona trip. Busy on summer weekends with day-trippers from the city.
