Unique lives and traditions

Are you curious to know what lies behind centuries-old traditions and our most notorious characters?

One of the great reasons that lead us to visit new places is because of the beauty of learning about new cultures, traditions and popular customs, curiosities that make each region, and even each town, unique.

Come to Penedès to visit museums that will connect you with the local culture and history, such as the renowned Festa Major in Vilafranca del Penedès and its folkloric elements, or stop by Cal Figarot to understand the passion of this land for the castells ("human towers"), declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, loaded with an intensity, emotion and spectacularity that makes them universally impressive.

Another excuse to visit Penedès is to satisfy your curiosity and find out those incredible stories behind our notorious characters and their legacy. Do you want to know who Manuel de Cabanyes was? Are you interested in knowing where Àngel Guimerà lived, or visiting the summer house of Pau Casals, the greatest cellist of all time? If your answers are yes… you are invited to see us anytime!
