Kurzporträt Sant Cugat del Vallès

Known for its impressive monastery and excellent markets, Sant Cugat makes an easy day trip from Barcelona. The thriving town is just 25 minutes by train from the Catalan capital, but the vibe is much less frenetic than in the big city. Sant Cugat’s main attraction is the ancient monastery, and there are also museums, shops and some great dining options to explore.

At the heart of Sant Cugat del Vallès lies Placa Octavia, the spacious square which is the focal point of the town. Most of the pedestrianised shopping streets in town lead to this popular spot, home to an outdoor market every Thursday. While away some time over a coffee or a meal at one of the many bars and restaurants, watching the bustle of local life unfold.

Top three things to do in Sant Cugat del Vallès

Admire the ancient monastery

Building work on the monastery complex of Sant Cugat began in the 9th century. The Romanesque monument has been adapted over the centuries, but the beautiful, golden stone cloister remains one of the best-preserved examples in Europe. A visit to the monastery and the museum it houses is a highlight of any trip to Sant Cugat del Vallès.

Visit Sant Cugat’s markets

As well as the lively weekly market held on Placa Octavia every Thursday, you shouldn’t miss the historic Mercat Vell, a mini version of Barcelona’s Boqueria. Alongside the produce stalls, you will also find little eateries serving everything from Catalan specialities to Mexican and Asian dishes. The town’s daily antiques market is also well worth a browse.

Explore the quirky museums

Not only does Sant Cugat boast Europe’s only museum devoted to Marilyn Monroe, but it also offers a museum of comics and illustration, with an impressive collection of graphic art. The Casa Aymat is home to the museum of modern tapestry, and the modernist wine cellar has exhibits on winemaking as well as the architect Cèsar Martinell.
