The charming seaside resort of Sitges is an excellent place to go on holiday. The town, which heavily relies on tourism to boost its economy, receives a large influx of holidaymakers in June as the weather is excellent and also because most schools will have closed for the long summer holidays.
Sitges receives an average temperature of 210 C in June with an average low temperature of 170 C and an average high temperature of 240 C. The temperature is extremely pleasant throughout the month and sightseeing can be done at any time as the sun rarely gets too hot in June.
The sea's temperature is also quite warm as it has an average temperature of 19.80 C in June.
Sitges does receive a little bit of rainfall in June as the month records an average precipitation of 38 mm with an average of 9 rainy days.
The resort is also exceptionally sunny in June as it receives about 9 hours of sunshine a day.
In the month of June, there are two major festivals celebrated in Sitges, Barcelona and they fall within days of each other. The first is St. John's holiday (San Juan), which is a national holiday marked throughout the country and falls on the 23rd to the 24th of the month. This holiday, which is the Spaniards' custom of officially welcoming the summer months, is vibrant and vivacious.
The hallmark of this holiday is fireworks in the evenings that form a brilliant display against the backdrop of mountains in the direction of Barcelona.
Barely a day later is the Corpus Christi festival. For this festival, the streets are closed to traffic for a day as neighbours work together to draw elaborate patterns on the roads and then decorate them with carnation petals. The procession of the Holy Sacrament passes over the decorations placed on the road as part of the festival, and a jury gives an award for the most intricate and alluring designs. Other events that take place on this day are: the Floral Decoration of Facades and Balconies Competition; National Carnation Exhibition; and the Bonsai Exhibition.
An excellent place to spend your trip in Sitges is the Hotel Capri.
