The initiative is part of the Gaudí Year 2026, commemorating the architect's death centenary, and aims to boost cultural and tourist promotion in Baix Llobregat, particularly for local audiences.
The campaign emphasizes the region's rich and diverse modernist heritage, featuring examples of industrial architecture, summer houses, religious buildings, and decorative elements. The route invites exploration of the works by prominent architects, artists, and artisans of the movement.
Key sites include the Colonia Güell Crypt, a UNESCO World Heritage site; spaces linked to Josep Maria Jujol in Sant Joan Despí, such as Can Negre; the La Rajoleta Ceramic Museum in Esplugues de Llobregat; the Gaudí Waterfall in Cornellà de Llobregat; the modernist route in Sant Feliu de Llobregat; and the Invisible Garden in Sant Boi de Llobregat, among others.
Other notable examples include Can Ginestar in Sant Just Desvern, the Federació Obrera in Molins de Rei, the Granja de la Ricarda in El Prat de Llobregat, and the Casino in Sant Esteve Sesrovires. The route is also accessible via public transport, with options like La Ruta del TRAM.
The events calendar features visits, itineraries, and workshops, including the Colonia Güell Modernist Festival (October 3-4), which will recreate the laying of the first stone of the Colonia Güell Church and include a drone show. Other offerings include the Industrial Modernism Route, trencadís workshops, concerts at the Gaudí Crypt, and guided tours.
An innovative feature is a gamified interactive experience accessible via mobile, with games and challenges. Additionally, a solidarity modernist keychain, created in collaboration with the Fundació Rubricatus through the ReCosir program, repurposes materials and promotes social inclusion.
This initiative by the Consorci de Turisme del Baix Llobregat involves collaboration with local municipalities and tourist attractions. Full details are available on the Turisme del Baix Llobregat website.
