Todos los edificios de la Colònia están bien conservados, y los comentarios de la audioguía muy interesantes. Me faltó poder entrar en alguno de los edificios, por ejemplo, la escuela y el domicilio del maestro, pero me gustó mucho. La cripta es impresionante, aunque más impresionante es cómo estaba proyectada!

Visita muy recomendable . Conocer cómo funcionaba la Colonia y detalles de la construcción de los edificios y la Cripta ha sido muy interesante.
Jordi, el guía, vive allí y es descendiente del médico y farmacéutico de antaño. Sus explicaciones nos han encantado.

My 9-year-old son and I went as a recommendation from a friend I met in Barcelona. I'm so glad she told me or I never would have discovered this place. It's a hidden gem, especially since there are no crowds. We were inside by ourselves at one point. I think it's not as popular because it took us an hour via metro to get there, but it was worth it to see the crypt. The town itself has some unique and beautiful buildings as well. We've seen many of Gaudi's works and this is in our top 3.
