PLAN AHEAD
Practical information
We want you to enjoy the day as much as possible. Find here some practical information on everything you need to know around the party, where to sleep, and how to get there.
Accommodation
The venue is very close to the city of Vilafranca del Penedès. For the event, we will organize transport from/to Vilafranca. If you are looking for a place nearby to stay the night of the event, we encourage you to book a hotel room here. Here you’ll find a few options:
If you are looking for other options, Vilanova i la Geltrú and Sitges are other towns nearby that have good accommodation options and are by the beach!
Getting to Vilafranca
Vilafranca is 45 minutes away by train from Barcelona and trains run every 30 minutes approximately. We think getting there by train might be the best and cheapest (around 5.50 € per person) option, however, if you choose to rent a car, make sure to follow the street parking restrictions.
Transport: Pick up
For those who are not coming by car, a bus service from Gelida and Vilafranca is organized.
Departure from Gelida at 12.00 pm from the Corba Bargalló then from Vilafranca at 12.30 pm from the Plaça Penedès bus stop (intersection of Rambla de Nostra Senyora and Carrer de Cal Bolet).

Transport: Return
For those who didn’t come by car or don’t want to go back by car, there is a bus service and a taxi shuttle service organized.
The return bus leaves from the venua at 11 pm and will do a drop-off in Vilafranca and then Gelida at the same stops used for pick-up.
A taxi shuttle service is offered for those who want (or need) to go back to Vilafranca earlier. The taxi shuttle service starts at 7.30 pm and will drop you off anywhere you like in Vilafranca. Kids car seats are available, please let us know in advance if you wish to use them.
There are 3 solutions for those who need to go back to Barcelona right after the party:
- Take the last train from Vilafranca to Barcelona at 10.22 pm by getting to the train station with the taxi shuttle
- Take the night bus service (bus Garraf) that leaves from the Vilafranca bus station at 12.24 am by leaving from the party with the bus
- Take a taxi from the venue or from Vilafranca. Let us know if you plan on doing that and we can put you in contact with others who are planning the same so you can bundle the cost
Babysitter
A lot of guests, including us, have young kids. To ensure we all enjoy the party we will have a couple of experienced babysitters onsite to care for the children and organize some activities for them while we eat and party.
The babysitting will start with the meal and stop around 8 pm.
Dress code
July in Catalonia is hot and humid and the night breezes are usually light. If you are dressing up for the occasion, we encourage you to come dressed in smart casual and plan for the warm and sunny weather.
Gifts
Many of you are traveling from far to celebrate with us. So of course our biggest gift is your presence at our re-wedding.
However, if you would still like to contribute to our life together (and maybe a fun trip somewhere!) a box will be available on-site. If you’d prefer, you can also message us and we’ll send you our banking information.
