With the Family

Autumn is the season of warm colours. Forests become magical places of orange, red and yellow where mushrooms of all colours spring up among the fallen leaves. We’ve lined up six walking routes to enjoy at this time of year.

Can you imagine discovering a region crowned by hills and castles that have witnessed more than a thousand years of history? In Anoia, the castles are not just witnesses to the past: they are vantage points that conceal legends, majestic architecture and landscapes that break the silence of time.

Halloween is just around the corner and it’s a great occasion to tell stories that make our hair stand on end. We want to give it our own special touch, so we’ve sought out the best legends about witchcraft in the regions of Barcelona. What’s more, you’ll see that they can also be turned into family outings. A hiking trail is more enjoyable if you’re familiar with the mythology behind it.

In the county of Anoia there are several magical places that bring together exactly this: rivers, waterfalls, natural pools, and landscapes suspended between tranquility and adventure. Discover and enjoy these routes where water takes center stage.

Exploring the Via Blava Anoia is much more than just walking or cycling along the river: it means immersing yourself in the peaceful life of the villages, sampling the local cuisine and staying in places that will make you feel at home. Whether you are looking for the silence of a stone farmhouse, the comfort of a hotel with views or the cosy atmosphere of a hostel, here you will find your perfect place to rest. 

A weekend following the course of the Anoia River can be a real adventure for young and old alike. The Via Blava Anoia, which runs from the river’s source to its mouth, offers sections and paths ideal for walking or cycling with children. But it also hides charming villages, natural spaces, games, and gastronomy to round off the trip.
