Sant Cebrià De Vallalta: Forests, walking trails and culture

If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Sant Cebrià De Vallalta, the landscape, walking trails and local culture can help you get a feel for the destination. The municipality lies in a valley surrounded by mountains, close to the sea. Much of the municipal area is covered by pine, cork oak and chestnut trees.

Valley and forest landscapes

Part of the municipal area borders Montnegre and lies close to Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor. In the park, coastal pine forests give way inland to holm oak, oak and cork oak forests. The valley setting, the municipality’s forests and the change in vegetation across the park offer different perspectives on the area’s landscape.

Walking and finding your way

The “Passejada per les vinyes de Sant Cebrià de Vallalta” route is intended for walks through the natural surroundings. Some guided walks organised by Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor also start in Sant Cebrià De Vallalta. Dates vary for each walk, so check which walks are scheduled before your trip.

Stage 4 of the Eix Central del Maresme heads towards Sant Cebrià De Vallalta; there, the route branches into sections towards Tordera or Palafolls. There are therefore several route options to help you find your way: a named walking route, individual guided walks and the route sections of a stage.

Strawberry culture and visitor information

Sant Cebrià De Vallalta is one of the Maresme municipalities where strawberry growing is particularly widespread. At the Fira de la Maduixa, visitors can taste locally grown strawberries and the famous giant strawberry cake; the festival also includes culinary demonstrations. Local farming and food-related festival activities are thus two aspects of the strawberry theme.
