Vilanova can be found half way between one of Spain?s best known cities, Barcelona, and Tarragona to the south. Its resident population normally hovers around the 50,000 people but this number increases over the busy summer period.
The areas wealth and main commerce has traditionally come from Wine and agriculture but in more recent times its industry and chemical and textile factories have been an important part of life in Vilanova. There is also a busy fishing fleet that is based in Vilanova.
The tourist industry has also grown in Vilanova and you are able to find plenty to do and see. You can water sports galore in the port and the beaches offer good, safe bathing. There is also a wonderful promenade for evening strolls and plenty of cafes and restaurants to eat in.
You can get to Vilanova by getting a flight to either Reus Airport to the south or Barcelona Airport to the north.
Barcelona Airport is around 40 kms away and gives you the widest choice and best selection of flights. You can drive from Barcelona to Vilanova in less than an hour and being this close also gives you a realistic opportunity of having a day out in this great city.
Reus Airport lays around 70 kms south of Vilanova and is a small airport that has flights from a large number of charter companies and tour operators. This has changed a little in recent times with Ryanair offering a schedule service to Reus from Dublin, Liverpool, Stansted, Luton and Frankfurt.
