The County
Boasting an enviable geographic location, the Baix Llobregat is little more than 15 minutes away from the centre of Barcelona. With the airport in the region, the excellent transport network –both rail and road – and the great selection of facilities and activities it offers, tourism is one of its major industries.
Sea, river and mountain give shape to this region. With more than 15 km of wide beaches, it also has the mountains of Garraf, Ordal, Collserola and the majestic Montserrat mountain, ideal for trekking and nature activities; and the river which, in its last section, gives way to the Llobregat delta, an exceptional site in terms of ecology.
The modernista style, a symbol of the region, is well represented by the church built in Colònia Güell by Antoni Gaudí. The attractions in this region are varied and many, ranging from Roman baths to 19th century palaces, and from spectacular caves to industrial textile colonies. An excellent gastronomy based on local produce with designation of origin, cultural manifestations and traditional festivals (some classified as being of national interest), as well as a top quality tourist infrastructure, make this a region with character and great personality.
Multiple options, surprising contrasts and continuous discoveries - you simply must visit Baix Llobregat.
