Would you like to travel in time? In the region of Vallès Occidental you can teleport yourself to the past and relive the Belle Époque through its architecture, art and cuisine! We’ve prepared a route through various cities on which you’ll discover constructions and designs that combine the elegance and creativity typical of Catalan modernism, embodied even in old factories. Fasten your seat belts and let’s get started!

<p>Museu d'Art de Cerdanyola del Vallès</p>

The history books chart the profound transformation that Catalonia – and, in particular, the regions of Barcelona – underwent at the turn of the 20th century, when all areas of life were turned upside down: art, literature, architecture, public space, the economy... In fact, there’s no better way to gain an understanding of the era than by visiting its architectural gems. Catalan modernism represents a time when a series of families set out to be modern and flaunt it.

<p>Magna Celebratio</p>

What was Badalona like over two thousand years ago? The Romans founded the city as Baetulo and for several centuries it rivalled the neighbouring Barcino in importance. Join us on a stroll to discover a city of antiquity.
