Everything you need to know about the Via Blava Anoia
The Via Blava Anoia is perfect for nature lovers and outdoor sports enthusiasts. It covers 19 kilometres along the Anoia river from Jorba to La Pobla de Claramunt, crossing villages and natural areas that allow you to discover the region in a different way.
A route for everyone
The Via Blava Anoia route is suitable for everyone. Hikers will find a flat, well-marked trail. Cyclists can enjoy a comfortable route that links up villages and offers safe off-road sections. For the more seasoned, it is a good workout for long-distance running or cycling. For those who are rather seeking a peaceful experience, it can be done in short stages and together with other activities.
A route to explore nature and heritage
This route also unfolds as a common thread linking history, culture and nature. Along the way, you will see wooden walkways, riverside areas full of poplars and willows, as well as perfect spots to stop for a break and enjoy the scenery. It is also a way to rediscover the role of the Anoia river as the region’s backbone. In Igualada and at other points along the route, you can still see elements of the old industrial use of water.

Anoia is a region to be discovered step by step, along rivers and trails, but also tasted at the table. Its gastronomy reflects an agricultural and livestock land, marked by the balance between tradition and creativity. No need for great artifices: typical dishes of Anoia are born from local products, cooked with simplicity and wisdom. A landscape that enters through the eyes and stays on the palate.
The Via Blava Anoia not only invites you to follow the calm course of the Anoia River, but also to discover corners full of history and views that embrace the whole region. Between Jorba and la Pobla de Claramunt, the route offers chapels, basilicas, and viewpoints that combine heritage, spirituality, and nature.
The Via Blava Anoia is not only nature and riverside paths; it is also a journey through the history of a county shaped by water. For centuries, mills were the economic engine of Anoia: first for grinding grain, later for the paper and textile industries. Even today, their walls tell us about everyday life in those times. Walking along the Blue Way also means rediscovering this heritage.
