Carrer de Martí i Franquès

Carrer de Martí i Franquès is a street in Barcelona rather than a conventional venue, running through the university and research district of the city. It takes its name from Antoni de Martí i Franquès, the eighteenth-century Catalan naturalist and chemist whose scientific work brought him recognition across Europe. The street sits close to the Zona Universitària area, surrounded by academic institutions and the green spaces that border the upper reaches of the city.

From this departure point, travellers can join guided day trips that reach beyond Barcelona into the wider region of Catalonia. Current excursions include a combined journey to Montserrat, with its dramatic rocky massif and hilltop monastery, alongside the medieval city of Girona and the coastal scenery of the Costa Brava. These routes offer a practical and well-organised way to explore Catalan landscapes and historic towns within a single day.
