If there is one gift that the regions around Barcelona offer you, it is their lush nature, hundreds of trails and dreamy spots, which can be seen in the natural areas that surround you. Every step you take in these areas reminds you of our rich natural heritage, where biodiversity flourishes among peaks and valleys, as well as streams and magical forests.

Sabies que al Berguedà s’hi amaga una de les obres menys conegudes d’Antoni Gaudí? A la Pobla de Lillet ja ho sabien, entre els veïns i veïnes sempre s'havia comentat; els experts ho sospitaven. Però no ha estat fins aquest 2026 que la Càtedra Gaudí de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya n’ha certificat definitivament l’autoria.

<p><i>Modernisme</i> in Canet, the birthplace of Domènech i Montaner</p>

Let yourself be captivated by the trencadís mosaic and wrought iron you will find in the regions of Barcelona. From the bourgeois towers of La Garriga to the renovation of Santa Florentina Castle in Canet de Mar, six Art Nouveau tours bring you closer to an art form that sought to turn every detail into a work of art. While recalling renowned masters such as Domènech i Montaner and Puig i Cadafalch, but also lesser-known modernist architects such as Manuel Joaquim Raspall, each facade is a reminder of the splendour of a bygone era that still makes you stop and look up. A journey full of mosaics and colour that turns any walk into a unique experience

<p>An image of the Springs of the Llobregat River in the region of Berguedà</p>

Pyrenean nature, charming villages, some 15 textile model villages and a delta that provides an oasis for peaceful birds, just a stone’s throw from aeroplanes. What links all these elements together? The Llobregat Path! It’s a fully signposted long-distance path stretching 170 km that can be enjoyed in hot and cold weather. It’s a great way to enjoy exploring one of Catalonia’s major rivers on foot or by bike, whichever you prefer. Here are some the stretches we recommend visiting.

<p>A wine tourism experience on the rise</p>

There are so many things to do in the five wine and cava designations of origin in the Barcelona region: learn to distinguish between a young wine and an aged wine, participate in the daily tasks of a winery, discover the different grape varieties, spend a night on a wine estate, etc. And if you like walking, you can also follow any of the many signposted itineraries that take you among vineyards. Can you think of a better way to spend a weekend?
