Tips from the Community
The Foix reservoir looks like an oasis on the way when passing by the road in the surroundings of Castellet. The place is full of peace and birds that live their lives around the water.

The castle of Castellet dates from the 10th century, originally little more than a large fortified house with a watchtower, it was intended to protect the Hispanic March from al-Andalus. Over time and successive occupants it did not fall into disuse thanks to its strategic position between the Garraf and the Penedès. Today it is a tourist attraction, thanks to its state of conservation and its privileged location above the meander of the river Foix, now occupied by the Foix reservoir. There is a bar with a terrace very popular with bikers and cyclists, next to the road.

Vilafranca del Penedès is the heart of one of the most important wine regions in Catalonia. It is worth stopping to stroll through its historic center and enjoy the atmosphere that has grown around viticulture over centuries.

Pantano del Foix. Road between Castellet and Vilanova i Geltrú. Lots of traffic but the road surface is in very good condition. Asphalt. Watch out for Sunday drivers.

A well-known restaurant for mid-morning weekend breakfasts. It's a deeply rooted tradition in our culture. They offer hearty breakfasts based on eggs, pork meat and sausages, wine, and shots. The menu is very varied. Cyclists enjoy something lighter with toast or a small omelet. Enjoy and savor it!
