When in Terrassa, enjoy the relics of the much-loved Roman age, the city’s medieval heritage and its modernity, as well as its magnificent natural surroundings.

This location offers endless hiking routes and outdoor activities for the whole family, since the northern part of the municipality falls within the Nature Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac, with over 32,000 acres of inspirational landscapes. Enjoy one of our package holidays to Terrassa and immerse yourself in the breath-taking nature of the Vallés Occidental region, with oak trees reaching over 2,600 feet and wild animals such as boars, squirrels, rabbits, foxes and bats, as well as birds of prey such as falcons, vultures and even golden eagles.

Founded in the 13th century and located just 12 miles from Barcelona, Terrassa has a rich architectural heritage, which includes landmark works like the Churches of San Pedro (450), the Masia Freixa (1907), the Casa Alegre de Sagrera (1911) or the University School of Technical Engineering (1902), one of the most important Catalan modernist buildings in the city created by Lluís Muncunill i Domènech. Book one of our budget trips to Terrassa and be sure not to miss any of these points of interest, as well as the Castillo Cartuja de Vallparadís, an impressive 12th century castle surrounded by nature that has been declared an Artistic Historical Monument and is sure to leave you speechless.

There’s no doubt Terrassa has something for everyone. It will take you back to the past while also offering the best of modern times. Between March and April, the city is home to the Terrassa Jazz Festival, a musical event that’s been held annually since 1982, and which brings together more than 250 artists every year. If you’re a lover of good music, you definitely won't want to miss this great opportunity. Take advantage of your stay to sample local delicacies such as traditional terregada sausage.

"I like the area it’s quiet, clean and kids had fun of sports activities. The program is well organised. The supermarket is convenient but hoping to have few more vegetables options, meats and is it possible to have at least over the counter medications like paracetamol and etc."
