<p>Casa Alegre de Sagrera a Terrassa</p>

Si hi ha un moviment artístic vinculat a Barcelona aquest és el Modernisme. Símbol d’ostentació i modernitat dels burgesos de l’època, avui ens queden molts exemples d’aquesta revolució estètica que posava èmfasi en les formes corbes i ressaltava la importància del detall i de l’artesania.

Barcelona és l’epicentre d’aquest art d’avantguarda.A més, molt a prop de la ciutat, a les diferents comarques de Barcelona, també hi ha grans joies que, potser, per no ser al passeig de Gràcia, han passat més desapercebudes. Si encara no les has visitat, has de fer-ho tan aviat com puguis.

<p>Camins per gaudir de Gallecs</p>
