• Whenever it is sunny, locals and tourists flock to Sitges' beautiful beaches -- nine of them. Top-less bathing and tanning are common. Nude bathing is allowed at the beach beyond the Terramar Hotel; lately the beach in front of Las Palomas Catalanas has unofficially become bathing- suit-optional Families with children and au naturel bathers co-exist happily. Please use the pool-area shower before entering your villa. Note: During the spring and summer bathing season, showers are available at the beach and require a pass, which may be obtained at the snack stand (chiringuito). In 2011 you would pay a deposit of €3, which entitled you to use the showers for a few minutes. This deposit is refunded to you at the chiringuito when you return the card. Extra minutes can be purchased and are refunded. The city uses this system to limit the use of the showers avoiding transients.

​

• The private swimming pool, up the street to the right of Las Palomas Catalanas, is open to our guests and neighbors only. The pool door key with the yellow tag is on a hook by the Las Palomas Catalanas entrance door. If a neighbor should question your use of the pool, advise them that you are a guest of unit 144 or 145. Community rules and custom require that you use the pool-area shower before using the pool (see Community Pool Rules insert).
