The plan 

We’ll go for a hike across El Parque de Foix between the Alt Penedès and Garraf regions to see the magnificent Castle of Castellet with wonderful views over the bucolic Pantà de Foix and its beautiful waters and rich forest landscape.

We’ll walk on paths through vineyards and the remains of old farmhouses, between the forest and the calcareous rocks of the area, painting the landscape reddish and grey colors. Amazing panoramic views of the entire coastline will accompany us all the way.

We’ll finish our hike arriving at Vilanova y la Geltrú, known as Havana Chica for its majestic palaces, mansions, and gardens from the Colonial times.

And we’ll end up enjoying one of its wonderful beaches ... with a refreshing splash!!
