ROUTES
CENTRE HÌPIC RODONYÀ can offer you the chance to visit this region on horseback offering the following routes:
1.
The cistercian route on
horseback
The Cistercian route links The Monasteries of Santes Creus, Poblet and
Vallbona de les Monges. The Poblet monastery was declared as world heritage
in 1991 and is the largest Cistercian habitat in Europe. Vallbona de les
Monges is renowned for its uninterrupted feminine monastic activity for more
than 800 years. The special features of the monasteries ensure that their
exploration becomes a fascinating discovery of the past.
2.
The route of the castles
along the river gaia
The River Gaia is a
typical Mediterranean river in the Tarragona Province, which flows from
Montfred to the coast. Castles in ruins dating back to the tenth century
line this river. Our route on horseback begins in Rodonya, crosses rivers
and mountains to Vilardida, Vilarodona, Selmella, Querol, Montagut, Selma,
L’Alba Vell, El Montmell and once again to Rodonya.
Accommodation is in rural farmhouses and meals consist of the very best
local food and wine.
3.
Modernist cellars of the alt camp
The co-operative cellars in the Alt camp are buildings which combine their
function of collecting, elaborating and storing grapes, with the singular
architectural beauty of the modernist style. Clear examples of these are
located in Valls, Nulles Alio and Vilarodona.It is possible to visit these
cellars on horseback on a days’ ride with a local meal and wine of the
region.
