The Centre Excursionista Els Blaus de Sarrià has become a local icon. Apart from sport, it has been promoting culture since 1920.

Cultural heritage

This hiker’s association, which is almost a century old, is the keeper of an important part of Sarrià’s history. Both their library and their historical archive have grown over the years with donations from neighbours. The blaus -blues- are true to the motto mens sana in corpore sano (healthy mind, a healthy body); they were founded as both a cultural and a sporting association. Every writer, artist or intellectual from Sarrià has visited their headquarters at one point or another. If its walls could speak, they would most likely recite poems by J.V. Foix and Josep Carner. Countless works of art have decorated those walls, ranging from drawings for children by Lola Anglada to the complex abstract works of Dau al Set.
