«L’Hostal és Cabrils, és la cuina d’quí, la de toda la vida. És una gran familia, és cultura. Son retrobades emocionants però sobretot, és alegría».

The history of Hostal de la Plaça is intrinsically tied to a family whose dedication and passion have left an indelible mark on this beloved establishment. For over 80 years, three generations of this family have worked tirelessly to make it a landmark in the hotel and culinary industry of the region. It all began with the brave entrepreneurs who founded this family business. Back in 1943, Doloretes Galbany and her husband Josep Mas decided to bring to life a small inn to accommodate the Barcelona vacationers of the time, in the heart of Cabrils, they called it "la Fonda." With a clear vision and unwavering determination, they embarked on the adventure of offering hospitality and comfort to travelers visiting the area.
From the very beginning, Doloretes and Josep laid the foundations of what would become a true family institution. Their tireless dedication, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor set the stage for the hospitality that remains a distinctive hallmark of Hostal de la Plaça to this day. As the years went by, the founding family passed on their love and knowledge to future generations. Their daughter, Aurora Mas, and her husband Andreu Masiques inherited the passion for the family business, carrying on the tradition and guiding the inn to new heights of excellence. At the age of 27, Montserrat Masiques, one of the 9 descendants of the entrepreneurial couple, decided to enter the world of hospitality, working for over 30 years as a dining room manager.
