Vias Verdes Espanoles / Spanish Green Ways
Dirección del Programa Vías Verdes
Alt Penedès is one hour from the centre of Barcelona and served by 7 train stations of the Renfe Cercanies 4 line, to Gelida, Sant Sadurni d'Anoia, Lavern/Subirats, la Granada, Vilafranca del Penedès and els Monjos. From the stations it is possible to visit any part of Penedès by bicycle using quiet and scenic country roads and lanes. 60 small towns and over 100 wineries and cavas are waiting for you
Biking Penedès is El Molí Tours way of encouraging more people onto bikes and using routes of Penedès, some of which we hope will form the basis of the Green Ways of Penedès or Vias Verdes del Penedès. Ultimately we believe Green ways should extend from Barcelona cityall the way to the south of Spain.
To start with we have selected 3 routes around the historic wine capital of Vilafranca. These include the Pilgrim route and its variants from Vilafranca del Penedès to Torrelles de Foix, the Carrerada route from Torrelles de Foix to Sant Pau d'Ordal and the Via Augusta route between Sant Pau d'Ordal and Vilafranca. These historic routes have been bypassed by modern roads and highways and are perfect for relaxed touring.
We invite you to use the maps and route notes to discover the beautiful interior of Barcelona's wine garden. As always the routes are a guide, you should get a little lost exploring the greener lanes that lead to hidden away farmhouses and wineries.
If you find yourself on an uncomfortably busy road, there will usually be an alternative lane or backroad nearby, look out for lines of trees or telegraph poles that indicate small lanes. To keep your bearings remember all farmhouses face south (the barrel room is on the cool north side), Montserrat protects us from the cold northerly winds, to the east the Garraf mountains separate us from the Mediterranean and keep an eye on the spire of the Santa Maria Cathederal of Vilafranca in the middle of Alt Penedès.
