We are a travel agency specialized in guided and self guided walking and cycling holidays.
Anoia is a land of castles and millenary history. From any point in the territory we can see the profiles of the castles watching over the territory. This route allows us to travel through the northern part of the region, to discover unusual and wonderful corners, full of history but also of people and legends. We will also do other activities such as the guided tour of Igualada Emmurallada or participate in the Rojo Tierra workshop, in addition to getting a good idea of the region's cuisine.
