Holiday cottages in Caldes d'Estrac

Caldes d'Estrac was called Aquae Calidae by the Romans. During the 19th century many members of the aristocracy summered in the municipality. Some of the best known are Joan Maragall or Jacint Verdaguer. Later, during the 20th century, the Barcelona bourgeoisie took the opportunity to build modernist mansions. Currently, tourism continues to be the main activity of the municipality.

The beaches of Caldetes are very wide and have very clean waters. You also have a wide range of activities at sea available, such as surfing or water skiing. You can take advantage and take a walk along its promenade under the shade of palm trees. Gastronomy is another of the town's attractions. We recommend that you try the peas and the crocheted beans.

One of the main attractions of Caldes d'Estrac are its thermal waters. In fact, its spa is the only one for public use in Catalonia. The mineral-medicinal waters come from the granite massif of the Maresme and reach the town through an underground gallery.

The Palau Foundation was inaugurated in 2003. Its mission is to spread the work of the poet and storyteller Josep Palau i Fabre. On the other hand, he was also one of the greatest experts in analyzing Picasso's work. At the bottom of the foundation you can see more than seventy works by Picasso such as watercolors, engravings, sculptures among other works of art. There is also a permanent room in which works by different artists of Catalan painting are exhibited.
