And there are lots of reasons why it’s just THE place for him. Richard has a budget of £210,000 for his new holiday home and Jasmine has 5 great properties up her sleeve – but will any be perfect? 

About the area

Sitges has been called the St Tropez of Spain thanks to its beautiful beachside location,  and abundance of culture. It’s just a 45 minute drive south of Barcelona, to which direct flights from the UK take under 3 hours. This former fishing village has a population of 25 thousand people but that number more than quadruples in the summer when tourists flock to its sandy beaches. And there are 19 of them no less – as well as a charming marina and lovely promenades. Slightly back from the coast is Sitges Old Town, bursting with historic monuments, art deco buildings and a bohemian energy.
