Vilanova i la Geltrú, capital of the Garraf region, is a coastal town with its very own particular personality with all the attractions of a city yet still managing to maintain the more human aspects you find in a town. In this welcoming setting where culture, tourism, gastronomy, water sports, fishing and commerce live together in harmony, you will find the perfect place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of city life. Wander down from the enchanting medieval district of the Geltrú with its castle and narrow, winding streets, to the Plaza de la Vila and the main shopping areas around the Rambla, and then all the way down to the Paseo Marítimo, where all year round you can watch and take part in many of the festival events in this town, in particular the Carnival and the Festa Major.
