One of the monuments of Penedés that is worth enjoying if you pass by there by bike

It is a beautiful town in a very pleasant and quiet place, with very beautiful landscapes and views. You have to enjoy these places to practice cycling.

On clear days, spectacular views of the Penedès.

Documented for the first time in 962, it was listed as a monastic house dependent on the Ripoll monastery and since the 12th century it had housed a community of Benedictines. Practically nothing remains of the primitive Romanesque church, since in 1541 a mob of Frenchmen burned down the town, leaving the monastic house and the church collapsed. The church was rebuilt in 1567, becoming the property of the Barcelona Cathedral. In the following years he carried out various renovations, including the addition of an altarpiece by the Milanese painter Joan Baptista Toscano and various images by the Catalan baroque artist Agustí Pujol. In successive centuries the church was expanded and in the 1950s, after the damage suffered during the civil war, the sgraffito exterior that can be seen today was painted.

The Museu Molí Paperer de Capellades is a museum dedicated to the paper industry, located in the town of Capellades, in the Catalan region of l'Anoia. The museum occupies the old premises of a paper mill, called Molí de la Vila, which preserves the structure of the paper mills of the 18th century. Next to the building there is an artificial lake fed by a water source, known as the "bassa" and which is fed by the Carme - Capellades aquifer. The museum explains the history of papermaking, and preserves original tools for manual papermaking. In fact, in its underground premises paper is still made with these artisanal techniques.

This small nucleus belongs to the municipality of Font-rubí, it only has three private houses, in addition to the Font-rubí cemetery and the church of Santa María de Bellver. The church was initially consecrated as a chapel in August 1152, but nothing remains of that building, as it was demolished in the middle of the 18th century to build the current church.

This fountain is located on a road very frequented by road cyclists, since it is located in a section whose passage is mandatory if you go to or come from Sant Quintí de Mediona, Canaletes, Sant Joan de Mediona or Capellades. The water that flows from the pipe is very fresh and tastes good, and it is not uncommon to find people filling jugs. If you politely ask to be able to fill your drum, you can skip the "turn" and thus continue your route well supplied with water.

Ruins of an Elizabethan barracks, occupied by the Carlists. Only a section of wall and a tower remain. The interior has been converted into a cemetery. It is interesting from a historical point of view.
