Barcelona Costa
Cultural riches
All along the 100 kilometres of the Barcelona coast, there are architectural jewels, exquisite wines, cultural riches and unique landscapes waiting for you. One of the region’s great treasures are its Catalan modernist works, spread through many towns. Around Barcelona, you can surprise yourself with works by Antoni Gaudí, such as the Crypt at Colonia Güell, the Artigas Gardens and the Gaudí Ship at Mataró. You can explore the influences of Catalan modernism in summer houses, romantic gardens and urban structures in regions like Maresme.
Among the vineyards
The region can introduce you to the terroirs of different designated origin wines and Catalonia’s cava. You can discover the great houses as well as small family producers. The owners and wine experts will show their products and explain the secrets of the wine-making process while you stroll through the beautiful vineyards or sample local produce.
