Among the towns of Catalonia, Cardedeu stands out for its turn-of-the-century summer villas and its setting on the Vallès plain below the Montseny massif. Long associated with Barcelona's summer residents, the town retains a notable strand of Catalan Modernisme, including works by architect Manuel Joaquim Raspall. The Museu Arxiu Tomàs Balvey safeguards local memory and a historic pharmacy founded in 1780, giving everyday domestic history as much weight as grand architecture. Cardedeu also sits on the rail corridor linking Barcelona with Girona and France, making it an accessible stop in Vallès Oriental.
