바이스 페네데스 주변 최고의 반려견 동반 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

The Coll de l’Arca is the mountain pass that connects Joncosa del Montmell with Aiguaviva. Until a few years ago it was just a difficult track, but now with the paved road it has become a key point that gives life to both towns. From here begins the descent to Aiguaviva, fast and panoramic, ideal to enjoy it on MTB. In addition to the pass, the col is a connection point with routes to Cova Gran and other interesting paths that cross the mountain range. It is a perfect place to stop for a moment, breathe and decide where to continue, with the feeling of being in the heart of Montmell.

The trail that brings you to this point is in good condition and suitable for all ages. From here, you can choose to descend to Can Marles, or if you turn off the first path, you'll reach Cal Joan de la Torre and then Aiguaviva.

Three emblematic points of the mountain range come together: Castellot, with the remains of the medieval fortress that guarded the Penedès; the Romanesque hermitage of Sant Miquel, from the 11th century, small and simple, but full of history; and the Creu del Montmell, which crowns the ridge as a symbol visible from afar. Climbing it by MTB or on foot is demanding, with steep and rocky sections, but the reward is immense: a 360º natural viewpoint over vineyards, villages and, on clear days, all the way to the sea. It is a place where nature, heritage and epic panoramas meet in a single point.

The Castellot del Montmell hermitage, dedicated to Sant Miquel, is a small Romanesque gem from the 11th century located just below the remains of the castle. Despite its simple and half-ruined state, it still preserves part of the apse and the original walls, which speak of a time when this was the spiritual and defensive center of the area. Getting there by MTB is quite a challenge: the path is stony and with very steep sections, and you almost always have to walk the last few meters. But once at the top, the view compensates for any effort - with the entire Montmell mountain range at your feet, the open Penedès and, on clear days, the sea line in the background. The hermitage, despite its condition, transmits silence and history, as if it were still watching over the ruins of the castle.

It crowns the mountain range and is one of the most iconic points in Baix Penedès. Located at an altitude of over 780 m, it offers a spectacular panorama of the entire region and, on clear days, as far as the sea. Today, all that remains are the remains of walls and towers, witnesses to a medieval fortress that controlled the roads and served as a refuge for the population. The climb to Castellot is demanding, with steep and rocky sections, but the reward is enormous: a natural viewpoint where history and landscape merge. On MTB you have to be prepared, it is better to climb calmly and perhaps do the last section on foot, but the experience is very worthwhile. It is a place that reminds us of the strategic importance of this peak and at the same time a perfect point to enjoy the immensity of Montmell.

Very nice climb especially the last 150 meters 👍💪

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.

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.
