A holiday in Molins de Rei, with its remarkable architectural and cultural heritage just a stone’s throw from Barcelona, is always a good idea.

Molins de Rei is a town in the province of Barcelona. Its name (which literally means “the king’s mills”) is a reference to the old royal mills built by order of Alfonso II the Chaste, around the year 1188. Are you ready to enjoy the many attractions offered by our cheap trips to Molins de Rei?

The town’s historical monuments are the real stars of the show. You can start by visiting Castellciuró. The main attraction to this medieval fortification, of which only a few ruins remain, is that it offers stunning views and a picnic area. It’s located in the Collserola mountain range, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and get ready to enjoy the fresh air.

Nearby you’ll find the parish church of Sant Pere de Romaní, a beautiful 11th-century Romanesque temple. However, the locals often attend the parish church of Sant Miquel, next to the town hall, in the town centre. It boasts a colourful, Catalan Modernist style, as it was rebuilt after the Spanish Civil War.

Palau Requesens, meanwhile, is a 15th-century Gothic building with a lot of history to its name. It was commissioned by the Requesens family, a wealthy line of barons who decided to exploit the economic resources of the area and drove the development of what at the time was no more than a village that made a living off the mills.

The pièce de résistance of our package deals to Molins de Rei is the Municipal Museum, which explores the history of the town and the neighbouring areas. There you’ll find both permanent and temporary exhibitions, with archaeological materials found in excavations from the local area and even sculptural elements of local buildings. You’re sure to enjoy the collection of works of art and ceramics, too.

From Barcelona, you can easily reach Molins de Rei. Several bus and train lines will have you in the town in under an hour. Check out our deals for trips to Molins de Rei and book your next adventure today!
