Upcoming Events
Fiesta Nacional de Espana
Did you know that Spain has two "national days"? One of them is the Fiesta Nacional de España, which is celebrated every year on October 12th, in honor of Christopher Columbus's discovery of the Americas in 1492.
It's a big celebration filled with parades, music, and traditional Spanish food. It's a great time to feel the pride of the Spanish culture and history.
National Day of Catalonia
11 September, the National Day of Catalonia is celebrated in the beautiful Catalonian Autonomous Region of Spain. It's such a wonderful event that has been celebrated since 1980.
When Catalonia gained special self-government within Spain in late 1979, they were quick to establish this holiday and celebrate their unique culture, traditions, and history.
Assumption of Mary
Assumption Day is a public holiday and religious celebration all rolled into one. This day is super important in the Catholic faith as it's the biggest Marian feast day on the calendar.
People across Spain gather together to celebrate and enjoy the festivities on this special day.

Sitges ReciclArt Festival
Where Art Meets Environmental Action
Sitges ReciclArt is a vibrant celebration of sustainability and creativity, where art steps up to spark meaningful change. Hosted by Drap-Art and the Sitges Town Hall, with support from the Barcelona Provincial Council, this inspiring event puts a spotlight on artists who explore themes like ecology and climate change through their work.
It’s more than just an art show—it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and reimagine the world around us. What if waste wasn’t waste, but raw material for something beautiful and thought-provoking? What if creativity could shift our habits toward a more mindful, sustainable way of living?
ReciclArt encourages us to do just that—consume more consciously, think more deeply, and see discarded objects in a whole new light. Through installations, exhibitions, and workshops, the event opens up a space for community connection and artistic innovation, proving that small actions (and little paper towns) can lead to big change.
Visit the ReciclArt Sitges website for more information.
Ordal Peach Market
Sweet Summer Mornings at the Ordal Peach Market
Tucked into the heart of Sant Pau d'Ordal, the Ordal Peach Market is one of those special weekend rituals that brings people together—locals, farmers, and visitors alike. Held in Plaça Subirats throughout the summer months, this open-air market is a celebration of the Préssec d'Ordal, a juicy local peach cherished for its rich flavour and short-but-sweet season.
More than just a place to buy fruit, the market is a space for connection. Farmers proudly offer up the harvest they've tended with care, and regulars come not just for the peaches, but for the stories, the smiles, and the shared appreciation of good taste.
You’ll find it nestled in Subirats, in the Alt Penedès region—an area known not only for its peaches, but also for its outstanding food, local wines, and panoramic vineyard views. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down. Wander the stalls, chat to a grower, sip something chilled at a nearby bodega, and maybe even take a scenic walk through peach groves that buzz with midsummer magic.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, the Ordal Peach Market is a sweet spot to savour the season—one bite at a time.
Take your children as they will love tasting the fruit and luckily there is a municipal pool right next door to cool off on hotter days.

VIII The Return Of The Indians
Tracing the Indianos A Walk Through Ribes’ Colonial Past
At the turn of the 20th century, many locals from Ribes set sail for faraway lands, chasing new opportunities in the colonies. Some returned—wealthier, worldly, and with a vision that would leave a lasting mark on their hometown. These Indianos, as they were known, brought back more than fortune—they sparked a wave of elegant urban growth, commissioning beautiful buildings that still give Ribes its character today.
One of the best ways to explore this legacy is to wander down Carrer Major, where the so-called “Americans’ route” begins. Here, you’ll find small stately homes that hint at the wealth and architectural tastes brought home from abroad.
Just around the corner, Redós de Sant Josep i Sant Pere stands out—don’t miss its peaceful cloister, striking chapel, tower and inner courtyard. A little further on, Plaça de la Font draws your eye with its colourful mosaic fountain, a tribute to the arrival of piped water in the town.
Plaça de la Vila is another must-see. Look out for Can Quima and the current Town Hall, complete with a clock funded by generous overseas donations. Every corner has a story.
Follow Carrer del Pi, named after the grand old pine tree that’s still standing today. Along this street, you’ll spot some of the finest examples of Indian-style façades—like Can Mauri, Can Milà de Palou, and Can Giralt.
Nearby, the Palou neighbourhood offers a rare treat: the chance to stay in a traditional Indian house, lovingly known as Can Quadres. At the heart of Ribes, Plaça Marcer (also called Plaça dels Arbres) features ecclesiastical buildings with subtle colonial charm. And just next door, Plaça de l’Església is home to the majestic parish church of Sant Pere. Known locally as the Església Nova, its twin towers—funded by returning Indianos—rise proudly over the town.
It’s a beautiful route, full of details that connect past and present, and a reminder of how far people once travelled to shape the place we now call home.
