With the Family

Easy routes to enjoy with the family on foot or by bike, a great way to explore the local landscape and the history of the people who have inhabited it. From Cal Rosal to Balsareny, passing through textile model villages. From Balsareny to Manresa, following the mediaeval canal that carried water to the capital city of the Bages region from the Llobregat River, a witness to the heritage, industry, engineering and life of the area... Choose whichever route you fancy and get walking.

We do not always need to climb a tall mountain or embark on a very demanding hike to find magical spots. Sometimes, the places we imagine when we think of disconnecting are closer than we think, and getting there doesn't require much effort. If you need to breathe in some fresh air but are not feeling very fit or are short on time, here are some recommendations that will leave you with no excuses. The six routes we describe below are easy, and you will need only one to three hours ahead of you to enjoy nature and some heritage sites. You will barely break a sweat! 

We all enjoy visiting castles, but the experience is even more satisfying if the castle in question is associated with a legend. There are a good number of castles in the regions of Barcelona whose walls whisper tales of centuries past: chronicles of princesses and bandits, tales of animals capable of making a huge army flee in terror, or of evil witches... If your curiosity is awakened, pay close attention, because after reading these legends you’ll be eager to visit the places where they are said to have occurred, many moons ago.
