Vallpineda / Santa Barbara, Barcelona: Location and surroundings of this property

This property is located in the popular residential area of Vallpineda, in a quiet tree-lined one-way street, with all properties boasting beautiful sea views. Furthermore, as it is not the highest point of Vallpineda, it makes the town and beaches reachable in an easy short walk.

Vallpineda is one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods of Sitges due to its proximity to the town and beaches (15-minute walk) and its private sports facilities, international school as well as 24-hour security.

Sitges is a Spanish resort with a difference and a far cry from the noisy typical resorts of the Costas. It has been fashionable since the 1890s, when it became an avant-garde hang-out for writers, painters, intellectuals and artists as a home and inspiration for their work. It has also been one of Spain's most unconventional, bohemian resorts since the 1960s. Nowadays Sitges appeals to everyone from jet-setters to young travellers, honeymooners, families that come for the weekend, Barcelona night owls and an international gay crowd. It benefits from a microclimate with an average of 300 days of sunshine a year.

There are 17 beautiful sandy beaches, there is a lively nightlife scene if you like to party and there are lots of groovy boutiques if you need to spruce up your wardrobe as well as an impressive range of authentic restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. Sitges is also renowned for its many Fiestas and awesome firework displays.

Sitges is very family oriented and has a large international community with several international schools. It is just a short commute away from Barcelona, and has an excellent transport system (trains that leave every 10 minutes almost around the clock).
