Legend of the turquoise sea of Barcelona, how long has it been since you last visited?

Xiches is located 40 kilometers south of Barcelona, with fine sand that is no less soft than that of Phuket Island, and a long coastline. Many people come here to drink tea and vacation every weekend. From the small train station in Barcelona, take the r2s line towards ESTACION DE TREN VILANOVA I LA GELTRU. International students with a monthly subway card do not need to buy a ticket to go there, just use the subway card directly. If returning (to the original station), you need to buy a ticket at the hall for 4.6 euros. After departing from Barcelona, we get off at Sitges, and after exiting the station, we can reach the destination "Sitges" in just 300m. It is truly a place "facing the sea, with warm spring flowers blooming." The streets in the town are mostly narrow, typical Spanish architecture, clean and tidy. Walking among them brings infinite comfort and healing. There are also some very special small houses, Mediterranean style, like Santorini, with white walls and blue doors, peaceful and beautiful. The Pink Church is located right next to the coastline and is a landmark building in this area. Its location is excellent. When the sun sets, the sunlight will turn the exterior walls of the church into pink, making it a popular spot for couples to embrace and kiss. So bring your significant other and hurry over! Due to the Mediterranean climate, you can see people wearing clothes for different seasons on the streets here, so don't be surprised! With over 300 sunny days a year and an average temperature of only around 18 degrees Celsius, it feels like Dali in Europe. The church is usually not open to the public, but it will be open during weddings, which are hard to come by. If you want to eat, the prices here by the seaside are moderate, averaging around 20 euros per person, which will definitely make you full. But because I'm poor, I didn't choose to eat here. Instead, I went to the supermarket and bought some bread, hahaha... By the way, I highly recommend a restaurant here (the location in picture one), which is a cliffside one by the seaside with excellent scenery.
