Trip ideas

If you’re a curious-minded person looking for a great family day out, we recommend organising a trip to the textile model villages in the regions of Barcelona. Built at around the turn of the 20th century, they still contain fully-functioning machinery, fabrics you can feel and so many amazing stories that you’ll be blown away. So how about a journey back in time?

Did you know that Gaudí's starting point is located in Mataró? That Lluís Domènech i Montaner, the genius behind the Palau de la Música Catalana and the Sant Pau Hospital in Barcelona, refurbished a medieval castle in Canet de Mar? Patricia Rojas, La Cosmopolilla, a journalist and travel blogger, suggests a route through the Art Nouveau legacy of Maresme, a region of Costa Barcelona that is popular for its beaches and boasts a great heritage to discover. A real treat!

Did you know that you can explore a world of fascinating heritage in the towns of the metropolitan area of Barcelona with the same travel card you use to get around the city itself? Well, you can! There are plenty of tourist attractions close to the capital and they can all be easily be reached by metro, bus, tram and train.
