Canyelles
Canyelles is a SUB AREA in Barcelona, Catalonia.
Nestled in the Garraf region of Catalonia, Canyelles is a charming inland village that offers a perfect blend of rural tranquility and proximity to the Costa Daurada's stunning beaches.

Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, it's an ideal base for hiking and cycling through the scenic Garraf Natural Park. The local cuisine features fresh seafood and traditional Catalan dishes, best enjoyed at family-run restaurants.
