:: The Village

History

A few kilometres north from Barcelona, Caldes d’Estrac combines its thermal waters with its bright beaches. The village has an exceptional weather – early springs and mild winter temperatures. The thermal waters of Caldetes, as the village is known, are the only ones that can be found by the sea.
The origins of the village date back to ancient times, but during the Roman era, when the village was known as Aquae Calidae, the properties of its waters were highly praised. From 1870 to 1920, Caldetes lived a golden age that gave it its present appearance, with outstanding architectonic examples.
Framed by the sea and the Serralada Litoral, the village and its surroundings offer classic Mediterranean images. The mixture of agriculture and fishing – typical along the Maresme coastline – gives the area a rich gastronomic offer in which fish, vegetables and legumes stand out.
