A weekend in which you will discover the
coast of the Penedès region, far from the crowds and the heat of summer, during which you will have the opportunity to visit an
Iberian settlement just as it was
2000 years ago.
CIUTADELLA DEL CALAFELLYou could start your weekend in
Calafell visiting
Ciutadella, an incredible Iberian settlement which has been
completely rebuilt so that everyone, young and old, can experience at first hand what life was like for the inhabitants of this area. What do you think about being able to
go into their homes and walking down their narrow streets, just as they did 2000 years ago? It's an incredible experience!
A BICYCLE TOURAfter your visit you could take a
bicycle ride, one that is
accessible for all the family, to
Vendrell where you can take a stroll and explore its streets. Afterwards you can return to Calafell for lunch.
EXPLORING CALAFELLIn the evening you can explore the town,
without the summer crowds, visiting the
Museu Casa Barral, the Bot Salvavides, the
church of Sant Miquel, the Confraria de Pescadors and the
castle of the Santa Creu, all of which are part of the town's living history, a history that will guide you back to the present day with its music, sport, seaside and cuisine. You can have supper and spend the night in Calafell.
THE DARRÓ SETTLEMENTOn Sunday, after breakfast, take a bicycle ride to
Vilanova i la Geltrú where you can visit the
Darró settlement. It is a small and little-known Iberian settlement that was populated between the
fifth and first centuries BCE and you will think it's a great find. After lunch you have the option of cycling back to Calafell, a journey that takes
approximately an hour, or alternatively, the company that rented you the bicycles will pick you up and take you back to Calafell.
