What exactly is Bear week all about? Do prices really hike during this week? I am wondering about restaurants etc. already had my hotel booked.
thanks
'Bears Week' as I think it's called is a gay event for 'Bears'. I'm not aware that prices go up just for that. Sitges would not survive if it ripped off its gay clientele!
I've been during Bear and non-bear weeks and I'm not aware that the prices are any different.
All it means is that a number of the gay venues have extra parties.
Just checking as I read this on a travel blog.
Thanks all for your replies.
actually i read it here.
its busy and gay beach is packed/inc nudist beach..beware of increased pickpockets..trouble walking late at night from bars/lots of dodgy kids
ive been to sitges 30 times so know what im talking about
really? first time i heard that you need to be careful in Sitges due to pickpockets or be careful in general. this is what i hear about BCN. getting discouraged here as this is our first time in Spain.
Don't know what happened to my earlier reply...We have a place in Sitges, so spend a good part of the year there (so have been there more than 30 times). I don't recognise the Sitges being referred to above. I've never felt threatened at any time of night or in any part of Sitges. Come and have a great time.
I've never had a problem with the pickpockets, well not on any nudist beach I've been to
I've never ever felt unsafe anywhere in Sitges- day or night
well good to read the positive comments. I was worried there for a bit. wort thing is to go on holidays and have to keep looking over your shoulder and having your guard up all the tme. pretty stressful if you have to do that for 11 days.
