With the Family

We just love the sea and every single one of the beaches along the 100-km stretch of coastline that makes up the Costa Barcelona. To the north you'll find wide and long beaches, such as those of Calella and Santa Susanna. Meanwhile, to the south, fine, golden-sand beaches, such as those of Castelldefels, stand in stark contrast to the sheer cliffs of the Garraf coast and small coves tucked among them, such as La Vinyeta, easily accessible.

Montserrat mountain is one of the cultural, spiritual and religious symbols of Catalonia – a place where people go to see the shrine of the Black Madonna and the children of the choir singing the Virolai hymn. But Montserrat is also a natural park with its own personality: provided by the dozens of rounded needles that characterise its line of summits.

What a pleasure it is to immerse ourselves in the vastness of the mountain and stroll through the quietness of the forests. What a joy it is to share the experience with family members and friends or enjoy it on one’s own. However, we must be aware of the fragility of nature and, therefore, how important it is for us to be informed and get to know our environment well in order to have the least possible impact on it.

Thus, today we want to celebrate European Day of Parks and Nature Week with the Kilian Jornet Foundation and its ten-point guide to good practices it has developed for Barcelona és molt més (Barcelona is much more). So that we can continue to enjoy nature with those we love most and take care of it so that future generations can do so too.
