Baron
c/de Sant Gaudenci 17 no phone.
Definitely not a style bar, but an old tavern that's a
real slice of Sitges nonetheless. It's nowhere near the sea, so there's more of a down-to-earth
local crowd.

only) 11.30am-3pm.

Charismaticseafrontbar,away
from the main crowds, just right for an ice-cold beer or sundowner cocktail. It's a bit more

Montserrat
Themountainof
Montserrat
,withitsrockcrags,vastmonasteryandhermitagecaves,stands
just 40km northwest of Barcelona, off the road to Lleida. It's the most popular day-trip from
the city, reached in around ninety minutes by train and then cable-car or mountain railway
for a thrilling ride up to the monastery. Once there, you can visit the basilica and
monastery
buildings, and complete your day with a
walk
around the woods and crags, using the two fu-
nicular railways that depart from the monastery complex. There are cafés and restaurants at
the monastery, but they are relatively pricey, none too inspiring and very busy at peak times
