Sant Sadurní d'Anoia Spain

The town of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia is located in the Alt Penedès region of Catalonia. It can be easily recognized by the vast surrounding area covered in vineyards, as it is the birthplace of the sparkling wine called cava, and by its captivating landscapes layered with centuries of heritage. The town lies inland, between Barcelona and Tarragona, yet remains close to the enchanting Mediterranean coast. Sant Sadurní is a recommended destination for anyone traveling through Catalonia who is interested in learning more about the history and culture of this northeastern Spanish region. Sant Sadurní d’Anoia preserves the secret of a centuries-old tradition: more than eighty local cava producers open the doors of their cellars to guide visitors along a quiet, illuminated route in the shade. Its architectural diversity is reflected in buildings such as 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). All of these buildings shape the historic city center, which has recently been converted into a pedestrian and commercial area in order to preserve the town’s heritage.
