Attractions & leisure
The Llobregat Delta is one of Catalonia"s most important wetland zones. It is home to 20 natural habitats which have been designated special areas of conservation by the EU, and has an extraordinary diversity of plant species. The Delta is close to
Barcelona and is an excellent place for bird-watching, as well as being a strategic point on the bird migration route. This is why it has been named a
GIBA (Global Important Bird Area).
The massif is the result of the erosion of hard rock (conglomerate) and softer ones (clays and sedimentary rocks) over thousands of years. The highest peak,
Sant Jeroni, stands 1,238 metres above sea level. The massif is a natural park and covers an area of approximately 3,600 hectares. It is the perfect place for hiking, climbing and caving (with wonderful places you can visit, such as the
Collbató or
Salnitre caves). A park with a wealth of beautiful natural scenery that is reflected in its varied flora and fauna. You"ll find squirrels, wild goats, wild boar, evergreen oaks and white pines.
The town of Sitges is located 37 km to the south of Barcelona, and its beaches and streets retain the beauty that inspired a whole generation of catalan artists in the late 19th century. We recommend you visit the modernista-style mansions and museums, and soak up the atmosphere of its pavement cafés and leisure attractions.
Terrassa, 28 Km west of Barcelona, modernista architects created factories and public buildings, as well as luxurious houses. The town has transformed its industrial past into museums and tourist trails. Sant Llorenç del Munt Natural Park is located just 5 Km from the town centre.
