Sant Cugat, home of the Trofeu Sant Jordi

Sant Cugat is an ideal destination for a day or weekend getaway, located just a few minutes from Barcelona, you can come by train or car. It is a young, modern, dynamic city and a setting where things are always happening.

Surrounded by the Collserola Natural Park, the great natural treasure, a paradise for walkers, cyclists, runners and horse lovers. An immense park that offers you an infinite number of
possibilities to enjoy nature. You can also enjoy the 13 parks to walk, play with your children and play sports in the middle of nature.

We can start discovering it through its historical centre, where there is the imposing Monastery of Sant Cugat, a religious complex from the 9th century that houses one of the most exceptional Romanesque cloisters in Europe. Strolling among its 144 unique capitals of high sculptural quality or learning about the life of Benedictine monks in the Monastery Museum is a unique experience.

A few metres away we find the Celler Modernista, designed in 1921 by Cèsar Martinell; or the Casa Museu Cal Gerrer, a unique museum dedicated to Marilyn Monroe.
There is also the Museum of Comics, a journey through the history of comics and their protagonists, through the different stages and evolution of their language. The Centre Grau-Garriga d’Art Tèxtil Contemporani is the first centre for contemporary textile art in Spain, bringing a great window of culture to the city.

Another essential visit is Mercantic, a small vintage village of brocanteurs, antiques, craftsmen and artists where different things happen every day. It is a reference point in Europe for lovers of
collection and decoration. You can also enjoy an EXPERIENCE of vintage shopping, leisure and gastronomy.

Strolling through the commercial area of Sant Cugat is also an attraction in itself, where you will find emblematic establishments with beautiful shop windows, art galleries and restaurants serving international cuisine, as well as local gastronomy.

Culture, nature, commerce, gastronomy and leisure is what you will find in Sant Cugat, …, there is something for all tastes.
