At the beginning of the last century, Art Nouveau was all the rage in Paris: wavy facades, floral motifs on signs, wrought-iron staircases ... This new aesthetic depicted modern city life and had a huge impact in Catalonia. However, when the winds of Art Nouveau blew across the Pyrenees, Catalan architects reinterpreted it in their own way. This is what we know as Catalan Modernisme.

World Book Day or Sant Jordi on 23 April is the perfect time to explore the amazing Art Nouveau heritage of the regions around Barcelona. Using roses as our inspiration, we suggest a tour of five places that are a must-see if you love Catalan Modernisme, floral motifs and legends.
