Windsurfing in Vilanova i la Geltrú: the Garraf spot
Vilanova i la Geltrú is just 30 minutes by train from Barcelona Sants, and the RocRoi facilities are right on the beach, a 10-minute walk from the station. Ribes Roges beach offers something the Barceloneta cannot: the Garbinada thermal wind, which blows regularly from the south-west and creates real planing conditions in front of the Garraf Natural Park. No buildings to break it, no breakwaters to redirect it. Just open water and a coastline that invites you to ease the sail and let the rig do its work.
The session begins at the RocRoi nautical base. The technical team checks your level, selects the most suitable rig for your weight and the wind strength — we carry sails in a range of sizes — and has it rigged and ready for you to go straight into the water. The entire fleet is by RRD (Roberto Ricci Design), an international benchmark in high-performance windsurfing equipment adapted for recreational use.
Once on the water you sail with full autonomy, but never without backup: the team monitors your session from the shore and has support vessels on standby. When you finish, changing rooms, hot showers and lockers are all available.
