Very close to Barcelona, you have all kinds of opportunities to get away and discover in a morning or a day places you did not know and that you can visit either by public or private transport or by bicycle.
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.
La Cadira (The Chair), La Bardera (named after a nearby ancient farmhouse), El Circell (The Tendril), Sant Pau (Saint Paul) and Balcó del Penedès (Balcony of the Penedès) are the names of the five lookout points that form part of the Miravinya route. This route, designed to be travelled by car, is a fantastic way to discover a good part of the geography of the Alt Penedès region, along with its culture and history. In addition to vineyards, you can also explore mediaeval castles, paper mills, chapels, monasteries, towns and villages, and natural areas of great interest.
