For a sunny break, make a stopover on the Costa Dorada, more precisely in Vilanova I la Geltru. This small fishing village is also a popular seaside resort in Spain, only 46 kilometres from Barcelona. On the program of your stay : sea, sun, palm trees and idleness... In short, the perfect ingredients for a dream holiday.
Located in a small bay, the seaside resort of Vilanova i la Geltru enjoys a temperate climate all year round : thus, in winter as in summer, many holidaymakers come to taste the quality of its bathing water and its gentle way of life. Its calm, family beaches, stretching for nearly 4 kilometres along the shallow, crystal-clear water, are enough to capsize the hearts of holidaymakers.
If for you, holidays rhyme with swimming and walking, then you are in the right place. The Barcelona region is dotted with numerous coastal paths, perfect for long walks with family or friends, along a sumptuous coastline. The "Route des Criques du Garraf" is a must see : between Vilanova i la Geltru and Sitges, this path between turquoise sea and wild land is worthy of the most beautiful walks on the Costa Dorada. You will discover a stretch of coastline that is both exotic and seductive, dotted with calm and secret coves in which you will love to spend long afternoons of idleness. The natural coastline of Llarga beach is also worth a visit : to the south of Vilanova i la Geltru, this preserved place is a privileged place for walking facing the setting sun, but also for cycling. Between the cliffs and the port of the seaside resort, you will find the beach of the Lighthouse of Saint Cristofol : favourite place for water sports lovers, here, sailing, jet-skiing, windsurfing and paddle. Volleyball, basketball and football fields, but also pedal boats, boats and kayaks will allow you to practice many activities during your sunny stay. The atmosphere is also sporting on the beach of Ribes Roges, west of the port. The chiringuitos bordering its wide expanse of sand as well as its crystalline and shallow water make it a popular place for families, who come to bathe there safely.
After long hours of sunbathing on the golden sand of the beaches of Vilanova i la Geltru, head towards its attractive city centre to discover its cultural heritage. Its medieval history, its maritime culture, its remarkable architecture and its modernist manor houses admirably preserved along its Passeig Maritim give it a very special atmosphere, a thousand miles from recent and concrete seaside resorts. For a little freshness, visit his museums ! The Romantic Museum and the Catalan Railway Museum are certainly the most popular: the latter houses the largest collection of steam locomotives in Europe, built between the 19th and 20th centuries.
Vilanova i la Geltru is a city in perpetual effervescence, famous for its festive side, where many celebrations are organized throughout the year. A seaside resort where life is good, it is also known for its gourmet and generous gastronomy. At the end of the day, sit on the terrace of one of the restaurants located on the seafront to enjoy tapas, fresh fish, seafood and "xato" facing the sunset. Once night falls, rush into the cellars and bars of Vilanova to taste good wine, before heading to the clubs and discos of the city to party until the early morning, to the sound of Spanish rhythms.

MERCADONA is the cheapest supermarket. Sports stores cheaper than here (Nike, adidas); ROCA VILLAGE is great for bargains on brand-name items. Barcelona take Ticket to the day metro, metro stops are very well served to visit tourist sites. Clean, safe metro. Lines L1, L2 and L5 offer day tickets at around 12 euros for all round trips.

We recommend the restaurant "La Patum" in Vilanova, in front of the beach. Good reception, very good cuisine (paella, cod, caldoso) at reasonable prices.
