Sitges, Barcelona

"The world’s first fantasy and horror film festival, which has gained significant fame over the years."
In early October, the Catalan coast becomes home to the world’s first fantasy and horror film festival. Established in 1968, the Sitges Festival features spooky screenings, activities, workshops, and a 400-person zombie parade. Purchase general admission tickets in advance for €11.50. Zombie Walk tickets are available at the festival and include professional makeup. Terror-ific activities aside, Sitges is still a buzzing beach town worth the 35-minute ride from Barcelona!
