Discover Gavà: Culture, Coast and Holiday Apartments

At the Museu de Gavà, the permanent exhibition “Gavà, les veus del paisatge” traces the history of the area through six rooms. Its scope ranges from original objects to grave goods from the prehistoric mines of Gavà.

The six rooms provide the spatial framework for an exhibition that combines the history of the area, original objects and the specific archaeological context of the prehistoric mines.

Culture

The botanical garden of the Museu de Gavà covers 800 square metres. This area features the plant communities typical of Garraf, the plant communities of the delta region and horticultural crops.

The 800 square metres therefore bring together plant communities from two different landscapes alongside horticultural crops.

The Museu de Gavà and its exhibition rooms are wheelchair accessible. The Parc Arqueològic Mines de Gavà has a modern interpretation centre and offers a fully accessible experience. The tour is fully accessible to people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users and includes the reconstructed mine.

Accessibility is explicitly described for both museum areas and, in the archaeological park, also includes the reconstructed mine within the tour.

Coast and Nature

The beaches of Gavà feature the coastal habitats typical of dune systems. These include the vegetation of shifting dunes, pine forests of Pinus pinea and wet habitats between the dunes.

The coastal landscape therefore includes open shifting dunes, pine forests of Pinus pinea and wet spaces between the dunes.

The coast of Gavà has a two-kilometre-long promenade whose design takes the dune system and pine groves into account.

The promenade forms part of this coastal area, and its design takes both the dune system and the pine groves into account.

Traditions

The Aplec de Bruguers is an annual tradition held on Easter Monday on the esplanade of the hermitage. The occasion includes a mass, singing and Sardanas.

The Fira d’Espàrrecs began in 1932 as a celebration of Gavà’s own asparagus. The Fira d’Espàrrecs de Gavà brings together rural tradition, gastronomy, culture and city life.

The Aplec involves a mass, singing and Sardanas as part of the annual tradition held on Easter Monday on the esplanade of the hermitage. Since its beginnings in 1932, the Fira has also preserved its connection with Gavà’s own asparagus.

Trails and Historic Places

La ruta del Ferro leads into the Serra de les Ferreres, where Palaeozoic, iron-rich rock and abandoned mines shape the landscape.

Access to Eramprunyà Castle is restricted due to consolidation work. From October to June, guided tours take place on the second Sunday of each month.

In Gavà, the section between the fire station and the beach is signposted as part of the Gavà Tourist Trails network and the Baix Llobregat hiking trail network.

The trails connect different landscapes and local landmarks: La ruta del Ferro leads through the Serra de les Ferreres, while the signposted section runs between the fire station and the beach.

Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Gavà can organise their stay at their own pace, according to their personal travel plans and preferred daily routine.
