El Masnou
Located between the Mediterranean Sea and the DO Alella vineyards, twenty minutes from Barcelona, El Masnou will captivate you with its beautiful beaches, the rich modernist architectural heritage and the wide gastronomic offer.
El Masnou is a town that has grown on the edge of the coast, which has marked its close relationship with the sea, from the primitive settlers of the Roman town of Cal Ros de las Cabras, through the glorious past of the merchant navy of the 19th century, to the most recent awards achieved by the Olympic sailors trained at the Nautical Club.
Walking along the sea, getting to know the corners of the old town, where you can still breathe the history of the town, and you can taste a good meal are some of the experiences that you can enjoy if you come to El Masnou.
El Masnou is characterized by the Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, which makes it an attractive destination to visit throughout the year. The rains, quite irregular, are not very abundant and are concentrated mainly in autumn and spring.
