Getaway to Vila-seca i La Pineda: Culture, vineyards and water

Start your visit with a peaceful stroll through the central streets of Vila-seca, an area that has been transformed over the past few years into a thriving commercial hub. Along the way you'll pass 11 information points that identify the town’s main monuments, each one bearing the name and year, and a QR code that lets you access information about the monument in five languages. Your walk starts at the Creu de la Beguda, at the Raval de la Mar, and will take you to the town’s medieval towers, the Ruidoms gate, the Vila-seca castle and the Noucentiste bodega.

In the evening, we recommend a visit to the innovative Josep Carreras Auditorium to hear one of the many concerts on their programme.

Even in autumn and winter, the days are sunny in Vila-seca i La Pineda, and you just need a little sunshine to enjoy a stroll along the shore. So on the first morning of your visit we recommend a walk along the nearly three-kilometre stretch of seafront of the Pineda Beach, one of the largest public urban spaces that opens to the sea. The walk takes you to the Raval de la Mar and on to the Torre d'en Dolça park, named after its 12th-century tower (renovated in the 16th century), that stands in the middle of the park. The councils of Vila-seca and Catalonia restored the tower in 2005, and on the day of the San Antonio traditional horse-races, part of the town’s festival held in January, the tower is open to the public. You can also visit the Pinar del Perruquet park, and the Pineda group of sculptures, by Xavier Mariscal, which are a landmark symbol of Vila-seca i La Pineda Platja.
