Tips from the Community
An impressive 18th-century aqueduct that rises above a deep ravine between forests and rocks. Built with stone ashlars, it is a work of engineering that still surprises with its elegance and balance. The passage underneath conveys a feeling of grandeur and calm at the same time. By mountain bike, you can reach it by an easy track from Olius, with a narrower and stonier final section. Tip: cross it with caution and stop in the middle — the views of the ravine are spectacular, especially in the low afternoon light.

Remains of an old medieval castle located on a hill with magnificent views over the Cardener valley and the Sant Ponç reservoir. The stones preserve the shape of the walls and evoke the strength of a feudal past. The surroundings are peaceful and full of charm, ideal for a short stop. By mountain bike, you can get there by a track with a gentle slope but with some eroded sections; on the way down, the loose soil can be a problem. Tip: lower the tire pressure and take advantage of the viewpoint to take a photo - the panoramic views are great.

Playa Mayor, located in the historic center of Solsona, hosts the main festivals of the town. In addition, on Tuesdays and Fridays it becomes the center of activity, establishing a weekly market here in which fresh vegetables abound.

Interesting Plaça Major as you enter through the Porta del Ponte as the whole square is downhill and ramping along the coast of the hill.

This bridge is the first aqueduct that was built to bring water from Lladurs to Solsona, in the 14th century. It can only be accessed on foot or by bicycle. We do not recommend crossing it if we have vertigo.
