<p>Landscape of vineyards in the Penedès region</p>

Skirting around the Foix Reservoir, this route is split into two stages: from Sant Sadurní d'Anoia to Sant Pere Molanta (very close to Vilafranca), and from there to Castellet i la Gornal. In addition to natural places of interest, the route also takes in jewels of cultural heritage such as the Monastery of Sant Sebastià and the Monumental Site of Olèrdola.

<p> Peaks with the kids</p>

Let’s not beat about the bush: what we’re proposing here is reaching peaks, so there’s definitely some uphill effort involved. But hey, they’re perfectly manageable with a little effort, including for young kids of walking age. You’ll find that little mountains can also offer great panoramic views.

<p>The Colònia Vidal (model industrial village) in Puig-reig</p>

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.

<p>Pedraforca</p>

One of the most closely-guarded secrets by Catalan families is the set of coordinates for the spots where they go mushroom hunting when autumn comes around. We’re ready to show you some places where you might find some mushrooms at the feet of trees, although we can’t guarantee that they’ll be there because various climatic and environmental factors come into play. Remember to pick only mushrooms that you’re familiar with and to be respectful of the local nature. Some of the picnic areas listed here have barbecue facilities, so you might even get to cook the mushrooms you’ve picked.
