The Dissabte de Mascarots is one of the most lively days of the Vilanova Carnival, declared a National Heritage Festival. In the morning, visitors can witness the arrival of the Rei Carnestoltes and the satirical performances of the Ball de Malcasats. In the afternoon, highlights include the Arribada del Caramel (the children's event) and the unique Moixó Foguer tradition, a character covered in feathers parading through the center.
For those seeking a more intimate or self-care plan, the city offers several wellness centers. Places like AraCalma Medical Spa, Cema Clinic, or Thalassa Terapias propose personalized massages, aromatherapy rituals, and special packages for couples; early booking is recommended for Valentine's Day.
The gastronomic offer is extensive, featuring restaurants ideal for a romantic evening. Options with sea views such as Nautic by Cal Blay or La Cucanya are available, alongside more intimate settings like Ànima Restaurant and Cal Purgat, which offer high-quality Mediterranean and Catalan cuisine. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for dinner on February 14.
As cultural and natural alternatives, visitors can explore the Museu del Ferrocarril de Catalunya (Catalonia Railway Museum), one of the most important in Europe, with its collection of steam locomotives. Nature lovers can enjoy hiking routes through the Garraf Natural Park or horseback riding, taking advantage of the February weather.
