Sitges owes its fame to the eccentric artist and writer Santiago Rusiñol (1861-1931), who bought a fisherman’s cottage set on the edge of the promontory next to the church and transformed it into a bright statement of self-expression. The idea seems to have stuck. The artist organized festivals to promote Modernista styles and once paraded two El Grecos through the streets when El Grecos were the last thing anyone cool wanted hanging on their walls.
The Modernista advocate was one of the artists responsible for getting Els 4 Gats café up and running in Barcelona and, during his years of jockeying back and forth between the two cities, attracted other artists to Sitges – while amassing quite a varied collection of artwork and bric-brac.
His home and workshop is now the Museu Cau Ferrat, which displays the artist’s private collection of paintings (Picasso and El Greco are on hand), sculpture, pottery and troves of curvilinear Moderniste ironwork for which the museum is named.
