Family getaways in Baix Llobregat: nature and modernism just a step away from Barcelona

Getting back to routine doesn’t mean giving up on short trips. Just a stone’s throw from Barcelona, Baix Llobregat is an ideal destination to enjoy nature, heritage and culture with the family. Whether for a day trip or a weekend getaway, the region offers unique experiences for all ages, easily accessible by public transport.

Nature and local gastronomy

The Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat is a vast green space where you can discover the farmland closest to the city. You’ll find guided tours and gastronomic experiences such as farmers’ breakfasts or meals at the Sabors de l’Horta restaurants, where fresh local produce is the star.

Along the coast, 15 kilometres of beaches invite you to make the most of the mild autumn weather, from El Prat to Castelldefels, with water sports, cycling routes and plenty of spaces to relax by the sea.

Modernist and historical heritage

The region is also home to real treasures for architecture and history lovers. The Gaudí Crypt in Colònia Güell (Santa Coloma de Cervelló) is one of the architect’s most unique works, while in Sant Joan Despí you can explore the Can Negre farmhouse with augmented reality experiences.

If you’re looking for family adventures, don’t miss the Gavà Mines, the Salnitre Caves of Montserrat in Collbató, or Castelldefels Castle, where pirate legends come to life.

Culture and leisure all year round

Autumn in Baix Llobregat is also full of festivals and cultural activities, from open-air shows to theatrical visits. And for the little ones, Catalunya en Miniatura or the Seven Balconies of Montserrat routes combine fun and learning.
