The train company is RENFE, category of rodalies/cercanías, and the line R2. Do not take neither the metro nor FGC. They will not lead you to Sitges!

  • COVID situation: Now, the COVID is relatively under control, and the rule of thumbs is that wearing mask in outdoor and indoor sites is not mandatory. However, it is mandatory in public transports, and this means that you are obligated to wear mask in the train and the bus. For the rest of places, wearing masks is voluntary.
