Covering 130 hectares (320 acres), the Valldaura estate has three nuclei: (a) Can Valldaura Nou, the farmhouse around which the main agricultural settlement grew up in the late 19th century; (b) Can Valldaura Vell, the original site of the first Cistercian monastery in Catalonia, subsequently a palace of the kings of the Crown of Aragon, and (c) a third complex, adjacent to the BV-1415 road from Horta to Cerdanyola, which includes the Can Valldaura restaurant and its service area.
