Pro-Tip from a Local
The "Blue Line" parking zones are free during the siesta hours in certain months. Check local signs for specifics, but this can save you a surprising amount on parking fees.
But honestly? The best way to get around is on foot. Sitges is a "15-minute city" in its purest form—everything you need is within a comfortable walk. Embrace it.
