Our story
We have a history, but above all, we have stories
Late 18th century
La Fonda Europa
Sila Camilo, the great-great-grandmother, founded the inn in Granollers that, under various names and with much effort, would be passed down from generation to generation. Francesc Parellada, Paco, would become its owner.
Early seventies
A country house
Paco and his wife, Antonia Garrell—the legendary iaia Toña—bought Can Ribas de Montbui with a dream: to supply the inn with home-grown produce.
Winter 1977
The newly planted cypresses
Along the gravel entrance, you could barely glimpse the cypresses planted by iaia Toña. Today, they line the path for every wedding.
Later
A family wedding
Their daughter, Teresa Parellada, and Toni Oliver gave shape to the project and opened the house to its first celebrations. It all began, almost by chance, with a family wedding.
Today
Seven generations
More than 35 years celebrating with you at Can Ribas, and seven generations devoted to this trade, with the same personal touch as ever and “tailor-made events”.
From the very first event, they wanted to delight guests who felt as though they were entering a family home. That spirit has never been lost.
This house and this story belong to you too, because we didn’t build this place with weddings in mind: one day someone wanted to get married here and we went along with it, not knowing where it would lead us. Some of you found the house fully built and others in the making, but together we have written this story.
And so, with pride, et dic: “casa nostra és casa vostra”.
Read “Story(ies)”, told by the familyOur team
You only had to tell us your dreams, and from that moment on, our team started working to bring them to life.
Your day is our day, and we work to make it unforgettable: combining the professionalism of a team with the warmth and trust of a family. Ever since we turned our home into an event venue, we experience every celebration as if it were our own, putting our heart into it and something more: personal attention for your peace of mind.
Our wedding planners are the ones who say “yes, let’s do it” while you’re still thinking “I’d love to, but… isn’t that silly?”. They guide you through the entire planning process.
The people in black are the hands and the heart. Sewing a button, holding the bouquet, adjusting the dress, making sure you enjoy the aperitif, whispering the words to your grandmother, handing over a tissue, touching up mascara, smiling with you because they feel it’s their wedding too, embracing you, and standing by your side so you can fully experience the emotion of your big day.
They are the heart of Can Ribas today, dedicated to ensuring every detail, from the planning to the final toast, exceeds your expectations.
You just shine, and we’ll take care of the rest.
