Water, Trails and the Centre of Gualba

The Passeig Montseny crosses the town centre for approximately 600 metres. Its first section, lined with plane trees, leads to the centre of Gualba and forms the town’s central axis. On the outskirts of Gualba, the Itinerari de patrimoni i entorn also runs as a walking route in which the Riera and its promenade are central elements.

Between the Torrent and the Outskirts

Near the Torrent de Can Sivina, a section of the Camí Ral de Gualba runs as a broad walking trail to the town of Gualba. To help visitors explore the municipality, the town council, together with Natura Local, provides a free app tailored to Gualba for iPhone and Android systems.

Churches and Visible History

Sant Vicenç de Gualba is the parish church in the centre of Gualba de Dalt. Its façade and apse area preserve important elements of the building’s 11th-century appearance. The former chapel of Sant Cristòfol is also part of the local history: it can be traced back to 1328 and was rebuilt in 1587. The two religious buildings add distinct historical perspectives to the town.

At one edition of the Fira de Bruixes de Gualba, stalls offering crafts as well as esoteric and gastronomic products, tarot, talks, exhibitions and the theatre performance “El retorn de les Bruixes” were presented along the Passeig del Montseny and at Plaça Joan Ragué.
