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. Here, time stands still and connects you to a world that, despite the achievements of modernity, speaks to you of deep roots and the need to care for the land that cares for you. Are you ready to explore five signposted routes that are not just paths, but also links to your history and very essence?

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

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.
