New Year’s Day in Sitges saw over 250 locals run into the sea on Sant Sebastià beach, for the first quick dip of the year. The event, organised by Sitges Town Council and Ràdio Sitges, welcomed 2024 with a record number of people participating.
The participants ran into the sea in an organised manner, after going through the pre-registration and some fun warm-up activity. Some people showed up in costumes and enjoyed the live music that was also staged at the event, courtesy of DJ Núria Scarp.
The sea water was at a temperature of 15 degrees, eight below the average in the summer months. Some of the bathers spent time in the water, while others made a quick exit.
