Costa del Garraf Map: Sitges, Vilanova and the Cliffs
South of the Llobregat the Garraf massif drops straight into the water, and the coast changes character completely – limestone cliffs and small coves instead of the Maresme's wide sand. Castelldefels at the northern end is the exception, a long flat beach on the delta. Sitges is the reason most people come.
What is plotted on the Costa del Garraf map
The map carries 5 places on this coast: 3 museums, 1 natural park, 1 town. They span roughly 14 km in a straight line, from Garraf Massif in the north to Railway Museum of Catalonia in the south.

How to read the map
Each marker is coloured by place type, so a glance tells you whether a point is a beach, a town or a natural park. Clicking a marker opens its name, type and a link to the full page. The checkbox bar above the map filters by type: untick everything except beaches to see only the coastline, or leave only historic sites to plan a day inland. Markers cluster when zoomed out, so a number in a circle means several places sit close together — zoom in and the cluster splits.
For the coast written up as a single read, see the region page.
