Canyelles
canyelles

This municipality is situated only 30’ away from Barcelona and 40’ from Tarragona. It is set in a privileged location, between three national parks: Parque del Garraf, Parque del Foix (and its marsh) and Parque de Olèrdola. Canyelles offers an astonishing valley covered by vineyards, ideal for training throughout the year because of its mild Mediterranean climate.

These circuits are ideal to go for a stroll and to explore the surroundings of the village.
