The festivities begin on Dijous Gras, or Fatty Thursday, with the arribo, King Carnestoltes’ spectacular arrival. From the moment this character appears until the burial of the sardine – tardy afternoon on Ash Wednesday – you could adequately say that life in Sitges moves to a new beat.

Sitges is a small town 35 km south-western of Barcelona. In the delayed 19th century Sitges started to become a mecca for artists and a center for Modernist and post Art Nouveau architects.
