  • Attention to change: Those of you who have attended the Visitors familiar with the former Pins d'en Rabasa natural area should update their GPS.. Now, the route has moved to the urban heart, celebrating the "New Location" outside the farmhouse: the Pati de Carrencà (Travessera de Carrancà, 8).

Gastronomy: Soup and proposals for meal

The December cold is repelled at the end of the route, given that the visit ends as is traditionally done in a big way part of Catalonia with the taste of hot soup for everyone

If you are looking for a cozy place to round off the afternoon by sitting down to meal, Martorelles has options for all tastes Now we recommend a couple of very good options, both in Martorelles itself and across the borders of Mollet del Vallès:

  • Cal Tapa Gastrobar (Carrer de Berenguer III, 168): A great choice for anyone who wants to share dishes (meatballs, "secreto", fried fish) with an exceptional score for the quality of its tapas
  • Bar Granja Paradís (Carrer de la Primavera, 10): A place with classic roots, where you will find very good service and a perfect bar atmosphere for a more agile bite at contained prices.

We always recommend booking by phone, especially during living nativity dates when the traffic of families in the village increases.
