Spain is the last word in tourism. Every province, town, village has many things to offer to the tourist. Barcelona is one such place rich in its tradition and has many things to offer the tourist. Sarria is a good neighbor of Barcelona and this district has not lagged behind in making the tourist happy. Let us just take a round of this district ‘Sarria’.

Sarria was an independent village till 1921 when it was annexed by Spain and made Barcelona’s 5th district. The people of Sarria have a tradition of their own and they are proud of their tradition and culture. It is a pleasure to walk through the streets of Sarria. Some of the rich and influential people of Barcelona were attracted by the stunning beautiful environment of Sarria and they preferred to move to Sarria and made it their home.

With this brief history, our first visit will be Casa Bellesguard, the official residence of the king of Catalonia. This building is believed to have been originally built in the 15th century. The building was in bad shape and it was the renowned architect of Spain, Gaudi who built the present structure on the ruins of the earlier structure. The building is rebuilt in medieval style.

The city of Barcelona is connected to other towns and cities through the Vallvidrera tunnels which are worth visiting. This tunnel is in Sarria. To have firsthand experience it would be better to travel through this tunnel.

Now we are going to Parc de L’irebeta. This Park is ideal for both children and elders. This is one of the biggest parks of Spain. This park was inaugurated in 1978. According to archeologists, two castles by name Can Bonavia and Oreneta Castle existed in the place where the park is now built. Except for some remains, the castles are ruined with the passage of time. This park contains many types of vegetation of rare varieties. The park has a most beautiful landscape. If one goes to the elevated part of the landscape, the most beautiful view of the Barcelona city can be seen. Children can enjoy merry rides on the pony. Another attractive feature of this park is the locomotive railway which covers a distance of about 635 miles. This railway has its own crew, station and other infrastructure.

In spite of the modern development, Sarria retains its individuality. This is a district with a very closely knit community. Just want to experience, please visit Sarria.
