<p>A motorhome through Bages</p>

The Grand Tour of Catalonia is an itinerary of more than 2,000 kilometres inspired by the great journeys popular among young European nobility in the mid-19th century. It has been designed as a single thirteen-day itinerary or in five sections of between five and seven days. The fact that it is divided into stages allows you to plan short getaways and take advantage of however many days you have available. Below we propose three routes to travel by motorhome on which you can discover the best landscapes in the Barcelona region.

<p>Modernisme a Canet, bressol de Domènech Montaner</p>

Deixa’t captivar per les comarques de Barcelona a ritme de trencadís i ferro forjat. Des de les torres burgeses de la Garriga fins a la reforma del castell de Santa Florentina a Canet de Mar, sis rutes modernistes t'acosten a un art que va voler fer de cada detall una obra. Amb el record de mestres més que reconeguts com Domènech i Montaner o Puig i Cadafalch, però també d’arquitectes modernistes que van passar més desapercebuts com Joaquim Manuel Raspall, cada façana és un record de l’esplendor d’un temps que encara avui et fa parar i mirar amunt. Un viatge de mosaic i color que transforma qualsevol passejada en un espectacle únic.
