Vilanova i la Geltrú splits its parking between town and sea: VNG Aparcaments runs the centre's blue zones (with handy free windows at the edges of the day) and a ~180-space blue-zone lot right on the port esplanade (Xarxaires) for beach and marina days. Pay by the VNGAparcaments app and the whole system behaves. The 2026 guide.

| Option | Notes | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Centre blue zones | Standard Catalan hours; resident reduced-tariff cards exist | Shopping, rambla strolls |
| Xarxaires port lot | ~180 blue-zone spaces on the seafront esplanade | Beach, marina, seafood lunches |
| Free fringe streets | Beyond the regulated core | All-day stays |
VNG's system includes free grace windows around opening and closing (9:00–9:30 and 20:00–20:30 for reduced-tariff card holders) — and for everyone, the standard Catalan free lunch and evenings apply. Translation: time your arrival and a beach afternoon costs a couple of euros, not a parking-garage bill.
The Xarxaires blue-zone lot on the port esplanade — ~180 spaces steps from the sand and the seafood line-up.
The VNGAparcaments app (or meters) — plate-registered, remote extension included.
Standard lunch and evening windows, plus 9:00–9:30 / 20:00–20:30 grace slots for reduced-tariff cards. Sundays free.
Centre streets close for events — use the port lot or station side and walk; towing follows the parade routes.
Yes — R2 Sud trains run frequently; park near the station and skip Barcelona's parking entirely.
