Hi, we're traveling to Barcelona with 2 teenagers mid-July and are looking for small towns outside the city we can stay in for a few days that would be away from the crowds but still close enough to swimming. Any suggestions?

Sorry - I misspoke about the train from Barcelona to Sitges. It's about 25 miles, but the train takes about 40 minutes.
