Close to Barcelona is a rich industrial heritage related to technology and work —old factories, museums, mines, industrial colonies, warehouses, depots, furnaces, textile mills, canals, cellars, wine cellars…—which represents one of the province’s most distinguishing features and is of interest to visitors of all ages.

From prehistoric mines now converted into museums to active wine and cava producers who open their doors to the public, industrial tourism, understood as a form of cultural tourism, offers opportunities to discover important aspects of the past, present and future.
