How far is Arenys de Munt from Barcelona, and is it worth the trip?

It's about 40km north, roughly 45 minutes by car or train from Plaça de Catalunya. If your kids like picking fruit, trying local food, or watching parades, yes: it's a solid half-day trip. If they're not into markets or outdoor festivals, skip it and save the drive.

What is there for kids to do besides walk around?

The festival lists children's activities and workshops, but the official site doesn't say what they are. The parades and the cherry tastings are the main draws.

Do I need to bring cash, or can I use my card?

No pricing info is listed anywhere, so assume you'll need both cash and card. Small producer stalls often prefer cash, but bigger vendors usually take cards. Bring at least €20-30 in coins and notes just to be safe.

About

The Fira de la Cirera d'en Roca honors the cherry harvest with direct sales from producers, cherry-based dishes, a craft fair, workshops, traditional lace-makers' gatherings, children's activities, competitions, and parades. The festival traces its roots to the 19th century when a mining family brought cherry seeds from France to Arenys de Munt after phylloxera destroyed local vineyards.
