Discover Sarral: Alabaster, Architecture and Nature
Visits and Craftsmanship
Those who would like to get to know Sarral through specific visits can arrange personalised tours for visitors and other interested parties; advance reservation is required.
The Museu de l’Alabastre organises workshops on working with alabaster, which groups can attend by prior arrangement.
The Museu de l’Alabastre is housed in a still-active alabaster workshop and showcases the mineral and craft heritage of alabaster.
The combination of an active workshop, guided tours and workshops makes alabaster in Sarral visible both as a traditional material and as a present-day craft.
The alabaster quarries of Sarral have been documented since the Middle Ages. In 1917, the first modern alabaster workshop was opened.
Visitors interested in the material can therefore choose from personalised tours, group workshops and the museum in an active workshop as specific options.
Architecture and Wine
The Modernist house Cal Garrofa was designed by Cèsar Martinell in 1924 and is distinguished by its attic windows and an original gallery.
Cal Cabronet is another Modernist building by Cèsar Martinell, dating from 1921.
Cal Garrofa and Cal Cabronet are two buildings by the same architect from different years in Sarral; Cal Garrofa also features the attic windows and original gallery as specific architectural characteristics.
Guided tours with wine tasting are offered at the Modernist Bodega de Sarral.
The Fira de Sarral takes place every year on 8 December and includes, among other things, an open visit to the cooperative’s wine cellar.
The bodega combines the visit with a wine tasting, while the Fira on 8 December includes an open visit to the cooperative’s wine cellar.
