Carnaval in Sitges (Carnestoltes in Catalan; Feb/March) is outrageous, thanks largely to the gay populace. The official programme of parades and masked balls is complemented by an unwritten but widely recognized schedule of events. The climax is Tuesday's late-night parade (not in the official programme), in which exquisitely dressed drag queens swan about the streets in high heels, twirling lacy parasols and coyly fanning themselves. Bar doors stand wide open, bands play, and processions and celebrations go on until four in the morning.
Bar el 7
(c/Nou 7) has photos of parades from days gone by if you miss the action. Other useful information
