The City

 


The beaches of El Vendrell are a good tourist offer, which come together with a great cultural activity. The Casa Museu Àngel Guimerà (house museum), la Casa nadiua de Pau Casals (parent’s house), the Museu Arqueològic, the Museu Deu, the Fundació Apel·les Fenosa and the Vil·la Casals form a rich museum route. Under the slogan “El Vendrell. La Música”, the town offers many musical activities that have the main base in the Festival Internacional de Música Pau Casals. In addition to the rest of musical series that the Auditori Pau Casals organizes all year, El Vendrell has a traditional music series, organ concerts and many other acts that are carried out by music groups of the village. The music, the culture, the beaches, the climate, the gastronomy… makes our village an attractive destination, with modern services of quality in order that everyone feels at ease.

Pau Casals Auditorium

 

Pau Casals Auditorium is situated in the maritime area of Sant Salvador, opposite to Pau Casals Museum. It has been built in a modern and agile framework, in order to fulfill its basic function, to be a concert hall. It was opened on the 6th of June 1981 thanks to the effort and good will of different institutions to save all the difficulties at the moment who made possible to carry out Jordi Bonet Armengol's project. This architect wrote: "The whole building reminds me an awning and it shows clearly the functional nature of a concert hall. The inward appearance will pretend to be a boat keel, showing its ribcage. This will allow a reflector or absorbent surface that will break the sound and will correct the reverberation time till the optimum demanded for the concert halls". It has to be emphasized the lighting of the room and the stained glass windows at the back of the stage, made by the painter Vila Grau and the glazier Granell. The concert hall has a capacity of four hundred people and it's equipped with air conditioned and heating. The hall is used for receptions and exhibitions, and it has spacious rooms that as well as giving many possibilities it grants a great versatility of functions.
