Sant Sadurní d'Anoia Spain

The town of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia is in the Alt Penedès region of Catalonia. It’s easily recognised by the vast vineyards that surround it – this is the birthplace of cava, the local sparkling wine – and by its captivating landscapes shaped by centuries of history. Although it lies inland, between Barcelona and Tarragona, it’s still close to the enchanting Mediterranean coast. Sant Sadurní is a recommended stop for anyone travelling through Catalonia who wants to learn more about the history and culture of this north‑eastern Spanish province. Sant Sadurní d’Anoia keeps the secret of a hundred‑year‑old tradition: more than eighty local cava producers open their cellars to visitors, guiding you along a quiet, softly lit route in the cool shade underground. The town’s mix of architectural styles is especially visible in the former homes of Lluís Mestres (1909), Cal Rigol (1903), Cal Calixtus (1885), the Agricultural Athenaeum (1908–1909), the Town Hall (1896–1900) and the Santacana Roig Storehouse (1905). Together, these buildings form the historic centre, which has recently been redeveloped as a pedestrian and shopping area to help preserve the town’s heritage.
