With a coastline of 40 kilometres, it’s easy to see why everything in Maresme revolves around the sea.

So get ready! In this part of the world, passion doesn’t hide behind a mask.

To enter the domains of the Penedès DO is to open oneself up to a world of sensations where everything is possible. You can taste the elixir extracted from the xarel·lo grape variety, smell the numerous species of medicinal plants, enjoy a waterfall and thrill to the sight of a human tower being crowned by the enxaneta (typically, a child of about five years old). Accompany us on this route through Alt Penedès, a land that leaves its mark.

Te presentamos algunos de los puntos turísticos más destacados de un territorio que, seguro, te sorprenderá.
