Discover Alella: Wine, Nature and Culture

Wine and Tradition

Every September, Alella celebrates the Festa de la Verema as part of its vibrant winegrowing heritage. At the Festa de la Verema, visitors can taste wines from wineries and winegrowers in the DO Alella area.

The festival therefore combines an annual September date with the wine production of its own area. The wineries and winegrowers mentioned make it clear that the event consists not merely of a single wine offering, but brings together various participants from the DO Alella area.

Diumenges de Vins takes place on the last Sunday of every month, except in July and August. The venue is the courtyard of the Alella Tourist Office. Each session combines two DO Alella wines with small dishes prepared by restaurants in Alella.

The event therefore takes place regularly at the end of the month and explicitly pauses during the two summer months of July and August. Each session includes two wines and small dishes from restaurants in Alella; both components are brought together in one session.

Diumenges de Most offers children enotourism workshops where they can learn about wine culture through play and taste grape must.

The focus is on workshops with an enotourism connection that combine learning about wine culture with tasting grape must.

Nature and Outdoor Activities

The Parc de la Serralada Litoral also extends across Alella. The special plan designates 4,042 ha as a protected area.

The figure of 4,042 ha describes the extent of the protected area designated in the special plan. Alella is therefore also connected to a park whose area extends beyond the town.

The off-road sports routes in Alella include the Alella–Turó d’en Galzeran–Camí de la Cornissa–Sant Mateu–Mirador de la Cornissa route.

The route name runs through Alella, Turó d’en Galzeran, the Camí de la Cornissa, Sant Mateu and the Mirador de la Cornissa. These names form the complete sequence of the off-road sports route mentioned.

Culture and History

Can Manyé is a former farmhouse that was converted into a textile factory at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, Can Manyé serves as a municipal cultural centre.

The site thus combines several clearly identified phases of use: first a farmhouse, then a textile factory at the beginning of the 20th century, and today a municipal cultural centre. This historical transformation is an integral part of Can Manyé’s history.

Alella Vinícola operated as a cooperative from 1906 to 1998.

In Alella, a self-guided route through the town centre leads to important sights in the town.

The route remains focused on the town centre and the sights mentioned there. Its self-guided nature distinguishes it from an event with a fixed session date.
