not familiar with Vilanova but there will be buses from the airport into Salou, from there it would be a train heading for Sitges, via Tarragona. Check out the Renfe site. I also saw a similar post about someone going from port aventura to BCN Airport and a VT user mentioned a Salou based taxi service, maybe a search will bring the post up.

Travel Tips for Vilanova i la Geltru
LOCAL GASTRONOMY
by Belsaita
At this link you can find some traditional recipes: www.vilanovageltru.com/guia310.htm#GASTRONOMY
Being the 3rd seaport of Catalonia, obviously the most traditional dishes from Vilanova are based of fresh fish and seafood, just arrived from the sailing boats. Some traditional meals are:
- bull de tonyina (fresh tuna stew)
- l'all cremat (casserole of fish and seafood with roasted garlic, tomato and potatoes)
- rossejat (noodles with seafood)
- ranxos de peix (traditional casseroles the fishermen used to made)
- sípia a la bruta (cuttlefish dish),
But of course you can find excellent vegetable and meat dishes too.
There are some autochthon products as well:
- Escarola de cabell d'àngel (kind of curly endive)
- Espigalls (kind of cabbage, similar to broccoli but with smoother taste)
- Gambes de Vilanova (prawns)
- Cargols punxencs (kind of shellfish)
The signature dish of El Garraf area is el Xató, a delicious salad made with local ingredients.
Els Tres Tombs
by Belsaita
The festivals' season begins in Vilanova with Tres Tombs ("the three turns") festival, on January 17.
It is a parade of horses and carriages, which represent how people and goods were transported in the past. They do 3 turns around the town in honor of Sant Antoni Abat, benefactor of the domestic animals (and saint patron of Vilanova).
