Gegants de Sitges

No mythological origin or founding legend for the Sitges gegants is recorded in the provided sources. The available material situates the gegants within Sitges' civic festival cycle—especially the town's Festa Major—where such figures serve as embodiments of local identity, historical characters, or allegorical personae in public celebrations. This placement follows broader Catalan practice in which gegants are longstanding elements of communal festivals rather than individual mythic protagonists.

The supplied sources do not provide specific, documented physical descriptions of the Sitges giants. Drawing on the general Catalan practice reflected in the sources, gegants are typically large, humanlike effigies carried or worn by participants inside a supporting framework and dressed in costumes appropriate to the character they represent. Any statement about clothing, facial features, or specific attributes of the Sitges figures cannot be substantiated from the provided materials and thus remains unspecified for these particular figures.

Rather than possessing supernatural powers, the gegants' 'abilities' are performative and civic: they parade in processions, are carried or animated by people, take part in choreographed movements and public spectacles, and appear alongside other festival elements (music, dance, and fireworks) during Sitges' Festa Major. The sources present them as components of communal display and identity, interacting socially with audiences during festival events rather than exercising agency as spirits or monsters.
