Spanish towns boost tourism with heritage sites and farm‑to‑table gastronomy

In Sant Esteve Sesrovires, a municipality just over 30 km from Barcelona, local authorities promote cultural heritage and natural scenery. Visitors are guided to the neo‑Gothic Church of Sant Esteve, the historic Masía de Can Amat, and panoramic viewpoints toward the Montserrat mountain range, offering a blend of architecture, history and outdoor recreation.

Further south, Albendín in the Córdoba countryside leverages its fertile river‑influenced lands to become a gastronomic destination. The town’s annual Huerta fair showcases tomatoes and other produce with a distinctive salty flavor from the Guadajoz River. Mayor José Andrés García and Baena’s mayor María Jesús Serrano emphasise the role of “kilometre‑zero” products, local artisans and the Ruta de los Pueblos Gastronómicos in driving tourism and supporting the rural economy.
