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

Some journeys are made by foot, while we carry others in our hearts. Then there are those we discern on our palates. When a tasting takes you to the past, when a flavour awakens a memory you thought long forgotten, you know you have found that corner of the world that speaks your language. The food tours in the Lluçanès, Garraf, Penedès and Montserrat regions are just like that: a journey following the roots and authentic flavours that link us to the land, the people and their enduring traditions. On this tour, bread, truffles, cottage cheese and coca (Catalan flatbread) are not just food, but stories that unfold with every bite. Get ready for a delicious adventure, where time stands still and your appetite grows. Are you ready for a delicious journey?

If you want to improve your mood and boost your vitality, treat yourself to some forest bathing! Originating in Japan, forest bathing consists of a short guided walk through a mature forest combined with a series of exercises to activate all the senses and connect deeply with the forest ecosystem. This allows you to absorb phytoncides, volatile substances released by plants to communicate with each other, which we absorb through our breath and skin. Are you ready to feel a unique connection with nature? Here we explain the unique features of four forests in the regions around Barcelona, where you can practice this enlightening technique.

Where do eggs come from? What about the meat we eat? If your children are asking themselves these questions, what better way than to take them to find out for themselves? In the regions around Barcelona, several rural houses and farm schools offer the chance to see their work first-hand. Collecting eggs laid by hens, feeding lambs, petting calves or milking a cow are experiences you can enjoy if you decide to try one of the five activities described in this article. This is definitely also well-being or, rather, rural family well-being. Enjoy!
