Sitges, near Barcelona in Spain, is wonderful
So pretty much everyone says

But is there somewhere Sitgeans can visit, to feel the Sitges qualities, away from home?

Arguably ‘Tossa de Mar’ is a similar ‘hidden’ gem along the Catalan coast.
Near enough for a day visit at North on AP-7 : 140 km, 1 hour 43 mins: 1 hour 44 mins

UPDATE: SEE MORE ON TOSSA DE MAR
