Sabadell's industrial heritage is the reason to come. The Vapor Buxeda is the most evocative surviving textile factory, and the Sabadell Art Museum and History Museum together tell the story of how the wool trade turned this town into one of Catalonia's wealthiest cities. The Central Market is worth a visit for the building as much as the produce.
For architecture enthusiasts, Torre Millenium marks the city's more recent ambitions, and the ESDi School of Design represents its continuing investment in creative industries. Football fans should note that Nova Creu Alta is home to CE Sabadell FC, one of Catalonia's older clubs.
