Respect the neighbours
Sitges’s bylaw on public behaviour bans drinking alcohol in the street (fines of €750.01–€1,500) and urinating in public (up to €750). People live on many of the nightlife streets, so please keep the noise down when you leave.
Safety
During Carnival, the Festa Major and Santa Tecla there is a “Punt Lila” support point against sexual and anti-LGBTI aggression; at Pride and Sant Joan it is run by the organisers. No behaviour, clothing or attitude ever justifies an assault, and nobody has to report to the police to get help.
