One of the most closely-guarded secrets by Catalan families is the set of coordinates for the spots where they go mushroom hunting when autumn comes around. We’re ready to show you some places where you might find some mushrooms at the feet of trees, although we can’t guarantee that they’ll be there because various climatic and environmental factors come into play. Remember to pick only mushrooms that you’re familiar with and to be respectful of the local nature. Some of the picnic areas listed here have barbecue facilities, so you might even get to cook the mushrooms you’ve picked.

They say that playing is the best way to learn. So today we’re proposing a wide variety of escape rooms, interactive games and gamified routes for you to explore the regions of Barcelona in a different way. We’ve got games that use virtual reality, others that take you to secret places and more straightforward ones that you can complete at your own pace using just your mobile phone or a map. They’re sure to make your break more fun and exciting! Which one would you like to start with?

The museums that tell us about the jobs of our grandparents and help us understand who we are and where we come from.
