The Monastery of Santa María de Santes Creus is a Cistercian abbey built in the 12th century. The grandeur of the monastery is due to the donations received from the nobility who wanted to be buried here.

The castle of Saburella dates from the 13th century and is located on a hill on the right bank of the river Gaià, in the Alt Camp region. Its state of conservation is much better than that of the neighboring castle of Semella, as it maintains one of its towers almost intact, as well as remains of other towers and the wall.

Although Selmella castle is currently in ruins, it is worth the climb for the fantastic views it offers of the plains of the Alt Camp region from the top of the Selmella rocks where it is located.

El Roc del Cogulló is one of the peaks of the Sierra de Comaverd, although with its 879 meters, it is not the highest of this mountain range, being the Cogulló de Cabra, located about 390 meters to the northeast. From the viewpoint you have a spectacular view of the Conca de Barberà region, with the plain of Poblet in the foreground and the Sierra del Tallat in the background.

Main square of the monastic precinct of the Santes Creus monastery, between the Assumpta portal and the main façade of the church. It is surrounded by a group of buildings decorated with sgraffito that had been part of the monastery (hospital, monks' homes, etc.). In the middle of the square is the Sant Bernat Calvo fountain, built in the 18th century, the time when the square acquired its current structure.

Pont d'Armentera is a town in the Alt Camp region (Tarragona) that has a long history. Of Roman origin, the first settlers settled when the aqueduct that fed the ancient Roman city of Tarraco (modern Tarragona) was built. In the northwest of the town there is a very well preserved Roman aqueduct (known as Pont de les Femades and restored in the 18th century) that carried the waters of the Gaià to Tarraco. This use of the waters of the Gaià reached the streets of the town, where various canals were built to feed both the important textile industry that developed from the 14th century onwards and the wheat mills.

Entertaining route that runs parallel to the river Gaià. The path is easy to do and has practically no complications, perhaps there will only be a couple of steps that can be a bit difficult and can be passed without problems, which would be the first walkway (where I go down the planks of about 50cm wide and supported on some "nails" sunk into the wall) with a rope to help us cross this first short section of footbridges and the first bridge with a length of about 15m (also with a width of about 50cm) that crosses the river Gaià, at about 2/3m above the river (which does not have any type of handrail, cable or rope to help cross it). From this point, continue very well until the fork to the right and to the left of the path (the route has been changed, and now to the left you reach the end of the path) and until you reach the fork, there are a couple of more sections of walkways but easy to pass where aided by the ropes will not pose any problem.

http://patrimoni.gencat.cat/ca/coleccio/reial-monestir-de-santes-creus https://www.larutadelcister.info/ It was the center of one of the most extensive and influential monastic lordships of the Crown of Aragon. With a solid, serious and austere architecture, the abbey reflects the canonical model of the Cistercian monasteries (along with Vallbona de les Monges and Poblet) Its high point was between the 13th and 14th centuries, due to its close relationship with the nobility and the royal lineage. In two Gothic mausoleums lie the only kings of the Crown of Aragon whose remains have remained intact until today.

The hilltop ruined castle of Selmella. It's a steep climb up to it, and usually quite overgrown, but really worth the effort for the views and the atmosphere.

The castle of Saburella, or Savorella, in the municipality of Querol (Alt Camp), is built after the Reconquest and is located on the right side of the River Gaià. It is located on a hill (683 m) and its conservation is good enough, especially one of the three semicircular towers, which remains almost entire, and part of the wall. The few historical news generated by this fortification has made it more difficult to establish a unanimous dating, however we think that its construction must be late, from the end of the 12th-early 13thcentury, and closely related to the conflicts that took place in the neighboring castle of Selmella between the monastery of Santes Creus and els Cervelló. Wiki: https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castell_de_Saburella Accessible by MTB or gravel bike. I did it with road bike but with with some sections of the road walking.
