Yet is has more; the town itself has a rich cultural heritage and there are many interesting cultural attractions for the visitor to enjoy.

The town boasts a privileged location surrounded by a totally natural environment, with rolling hills that meet the sea and the Garraf and Foix nature reserves close by to explore.

You can take a visit to two local wine cellars, where you can learn and try the local denominations. The Caves Jaume Serra, situated outside of town on the road to Villafranca and the Celler Can Pujol, are both worth a visit.

The entire Garraf region is worth a visit. The many ancient towns provide a wonderful opportunity to learn about the local culture and Catalonian traditions. The city of Sitges is close by and of course Barcelona city is within easy distance. But you will definitely need more than a day trip to see all the delights of the capital of Catalonia.

For children Universal’s Port Aventura is not too far away and will definitely keep them busy for a day.

With Vilanova i la Geltru’s fishing tradition, expect to indulge in some of the most delicious seafood dishes in the region. There are some excellent restaurants and bars in town, but definitely seafood is high on the menu and we recommend that visitors head to try out some of the local family run seafood restaurants in town, where you can eat well and economically.

Climate
Vilanova i la Geltru has a typical Mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summers, during the spring and autumn the region can receive quite a bit of rain and some spectacular storms.
