Vilanova i la Geltrú

The coastal municipality extends along the Mediterranean Sea with a 22-meter elevation, featuring a combination of beaches, urban areas, and agricultural lands.

The settlement originated from the unification of two distinct communities: La Geltrú, a medieval center, and Vilanova, which developed as a new village.

The Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer contains extensive collections of antiquities, established by the nineteenth-century poet and diplomat Víctor Balaguer.

The municipality connects to Barcelona through the C-32 highway and regular train services, offering direct access to neighboring coastal towns.

The Railway Museum houses a collection of steam engines in original infrastructure, documenting the evolution of rail transport in Catalonia.
