The Location:

Our office is located in a Mediterranean coastal town called Sitges, Barcelona.

Sitges is barely 20 min away from El Prat, Barcelona’s International Airport, and not only has 17 different beaches around its own coastline (“Costa del Garraf”), but also offers an average of 300 days of sun a year. This warm and sunny weather is perfect to enjoy outdoor sports and leisure activities with your family and friends around the area; while altitude lovers still have a wide range of all-year round mountain activities in the Pyrenees, only 2h drive.

In addition, this historical town will captivate you with its open minded and international mindset, cultural events, creative and LGBTQI atmosphere topped up with delicious Mediterranean food and its excellent Spanish wine of course!
