Cerdanyola del Vallés comes alive with the arts twice a year. Music floats through the warm evening air, and colorful folkloric dances enliven the night.

In the summer Cerdanyola has one long fiesta season, including concerts at the castle, dance performances, and a fantasy shorts festival. Autumn brings the International Blues Festival, well known for its blues, gospel, soul, and Afro-American music. In the fall, Cerdanyola also plays host to the International Children's and Youth Theatre Festival and the festival of the patron saint, Sant Marti. Festivals, parades, and celebrations occur year round in Cerdanyola.

It is no surprise that Cerdanyola is a center of rich cultural events, for people have inhabited the area for over 600,000 years. There are over 1,000 years of recorded history, beginning in 1828, when the city of Cerdanyola del Vallès was founded. At the beginning of the 20th century the city attracted artists and bohemians, which gave rise to its current status as an arts and cultural center.

Located at the foot of the Collserola Mountains, the largest natural park in the area, Cerdanyola is a mere 13 miles from Barcelona. Day trips to Barcelona are certainly an option, but there is much to do in the city itself. Visit the Sant Marcal castle, take a walk through the blossoming city parks and gardens, or go shopping in the open-air markets.

Even in this dynamic metropolitan area it is possible to find seclusion among natural settings. Cerdanyola boasts the largest natural park in the area, a magnificent forested area. Take the Via Verda Trail for a relaxing nature walk.

There are a number of hotels in the area, including the Hotel Bellaterra, Hotel Serhs Campus, and the four star Hotel Eurostars Parc del Vallés.
