Sitges is a small seaside town on the coast of Catalonia. It is a short distance from Barcelona and comprises a popular weekend destination for tourists and locals alike. The long golden beaches there are perfect for helping you to de-stress, however this town has much more to offer than that.

They say the way to a man’s heart is his stomach. Then trying some of the delicious typical dishes in different places may also win you over! Thus, now that summer has arrived and its beach weather, LocalNomad would like to suggest a small recipe for Xató del Penedes, a delicious sauce typically eaten on the Catalan coast which is also eaten during “Les xatonades”, comprising a traditional route where the participants attempt to try all the different varieties of this accompaniment along the coast. Sitges is an important point and perfect base for carrying out the “Xató Route”, as well as places such as Vendrell, Villanueva I la Geltrú, amongst others.
