Cool plans within 20 minutes from Vila

Cool plans

Sick of being at home all day watching Netflix? You have plenty of cool stuff to do within 20 min by train. Check ‘em out!

 

  • Visit Sant Cugat’s Monastery

Sant Cugat is a beautiful city just 3 train stops away from Bellaterra. It’s the perfect place to spend the afternoon. Once you get there, walk down the rambla and you’ll arrive to the Monastery’s Plaza. Its roman cloister is one of the most important in Catalunya!

 

  • Eat chocolate con churros

After visiting the Monastery you’ll be hungry, so… follow me! We’ll go up the Rambla and find a nice cafeteria to sit down for a bit and recharge batteries. Once you’ll find it… it’s time to order chocolate con churros (churros with hot chocolate) so you warm up while tasting one of our favourite meriendas (it’s what we call the afternoon snack time).

Although… to be honest, one of the best ways to try this exquisite meal is after a long night out. Fiesta and churros is a great combo!

 

  • Picnics at Vallparadís Parc:

In the heart of Terrassa, you’ll find one of the best city’s highlights: Vallparadís Park. A bit of a “secret spot”, unknown for many tourists and loved by the locals… The place to enjoy the summer weather and, also, make the most out of a winter sunny day.

So grab a few sandwiches head to Terrassa! Can’t be bothered to pack lunch? You can also have tapas in there! And if you are into jazz (even if you’re not!), then you have a date on Sunday the 17th of March at Picnic Jazz!

Pack a blanket, food and drinks, and take a good spot to enjoy the coolest jazz music and ambiance.

 

  • Go to the farmer’s market: Sabadell, Terrassa, Sant Cugat and Cerdanyola

Whatever your schedule is, there’s a farmer’s market for every day of the week!

So you have no excuse!

Sabadell: every single day!

Terrassa: check when!

Sant Cugat: where do I go today?

Cerdanyola: Friday’s market

 

  • BBQ at Les Planes:

A few minute walk from Les Planes train station, you’ll find Les Fonts restaurant! It’s not just a restaurant… they also have a huge BBQ area!

Check the schedule and prices on their website before you rock up there.

 

  • Escape room in Sabadell:

Too lazy to go to the city? There’s no need to really… In Sabadell there’s a bunch of stuff to do as well, for example… Have you ever tried to escape from an escape room? It’s fun and not expensive if you’re in a group of friends!

Here you have some of Sabadell’s escape rooms. Have a look and reserve your favourite on!

 

  • A quick trip to Ireland from Cerdanyola:

Did you know there’s an Irish pub in Cerdanyola? Well, now you do!

The coolest place to spend a different afternoon and share a yummy Guinness with your friends!

 

  • Running around Bellaterra

Have you realised you live right next to Bellaterra, and you just go there to do the grocery shopping at Condis? ¡Muy mal!

Just so you know, besides Condis’ building impressive architecture, Bellaterra itself is a pretty nice place to go running! It’s a beautiful neighbourhood with impressive houses that will make you feel poor… but hey! You’ll still be doing some sport, which is good for your health!

Apart from way too pricey chalets, there are some hiking paths and one outdoor gym, yay!

 

  • El Punt cinema in Cerdanyola

Do you love going to the movies? Then Cerdanyola is your place!

And if you go from Monday to Thursday, the price of the tickets is only 4,90€!

Check the movies and the prices on their website!
