El Masnou
Venue, Travel and Accommodation
Sant Pere
The Church of Saint Peter lies in the heart of El Masnou, in one of the town squares overlooking the sea with views towards Barcelona. This is the venue for our wedding vows.
El Masvell Restaurant
El Mas Vell brings years of experience in the culinary world, with a strong respect for tradition. While rooted in classic Catalan Mediterranean cuisine, it offers a fresh take on the format. More than just a restaurant, El Mas Vell honours its history and adds a unique touch by brewing its own craft beer.
