Sant Andreu de Llavaneres is a small, leafy town on the Maresme coast north of Barcelona, set back on the hillside above its beach and marina. It's a comfortable, residential Catalan place — strawberry fields and country houses on the slopes, a quiet old centre, and easy rail links down to the city — rather than a holiday resort, which gives it a settled, local feel.
Its summer revolves around the Sant Pere festival, with a charity sardine feast among the celebrations, and there's a relaxed run of events alongside: a solstice concert with Milanesa Sound, the 'A tot ritme' dance festival, and a Holi party for the town's Pride. Here's what's on while you're here.
