Mollet del Vallès

Mollet del Vallès is a municipality in Barcelona Province located roughly 17 kilometers from the city of Barcelona. The town has a mixed structure with residential areas, industrial zones, and green spaces distributed across its territory.

The settlement began in the 10th century as a religious community under Barcelona's bishop. During the 20th century it developed into an industrial and trading hub, particularly through textile manufacturing.

The Joan Abelló Museum displays works by Catalan artists spanning multiple centuries and draws visitors interested in regional art collections. The building itself sits in the heart of town and is regularly visited by residents.

The place sits close to Barcelona and connects well to the city through trains, buses, and roads. Visitors find shops, restaurants, and museums here, mostly concentrated in the town center.

The Gallecs protected area covers half the municipality's land and preserves farmland within the developed surroundings. This conservation zone offers space for ecological learning and traditional farming methods.
