Castellet Castle

Highlight • Castle

Castellet Castle dates from the 10th century, originally little more than a large fortified house with a watchtower, it was intended to protect the Hispanic March of al-Andalus.

Over time and the successive occupants it did not fall into disuse thanks to its strategic position between Garraf and Penedès. Today it is a tourist attraction, thanks to its state of conservation and its privileged location on the meander of the Foix River, today occupied by the Foix reservoir. There is a terrace bar, very popular with bikers and cyclists, just off the road.

Gran Pèlag of Vilobí del Penedès

Highlight • Lake

The "pelags" -also called the talls- appeared as a result of the gypsum extractive activity that dates back to Roman times and that has been typical of Vilobí until 1993. Since the extraction of stone, a natural space made up of four lagoons. The concentration of runoff water has originated its characteristic crescent shape and the particular ecosystem that has developed in the environment. It has different very interesting and very peculiar landscapes such as the quarries themselves, and very peculiar fauna and flora. This microecosystem formed by the "pelags" of Vilobí contrasts strongly with the wine-growing landscape of the Alt Penedès region.

View of the Largest Lake in Parc dels Talls

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this viewpoint we can see the largest lake in the Parc dels Talls. These lakes, known as "pèlags", have been formed by the phreatic flooding of old gypsum quarries, in an example of the renaturalization and recovery of a mining area. The area is very rich in diversity of flora and fauna.
