Three of our most popular WALKS - To discover the local villages and countryside
Route 1 - La Torre del Visco to Fuentespalda
This walk to the small village of Fuentespalda takes
approximately 5 hours and as you pass through the valley and along the river of
the "Tastavins" you will have plenty of opportunity to see the rich
variety of flora and fauna that we have here.
The scenery is very serene and unspoiled; terraces of almonds and
olives, pine clad mountains and unusual rock formations.
In March the almonds burst into flower. Easter and early summer bring swathes of red
poppies, wild flowers and a mass of butterflies, insects and migratory
birds. The autumn months are generally
dry and warm, a perfect time for walking and searching for wild mushrooms.
Take a break in Fuentespalda to enjoy a refreshing
drink and homemade tapas in the Bar in the Plaza before completing the second
half of your journey. At the end of the
route you will come to the ancient little chapel of Sant Pere Martir set in a
secluded spot by the river.
Route 2 - La Torre del Visco to
Valderrobres
This circular route takes you to the splendid medieval
village of Valderrobres dominated by the XIVth. century castle, which is
steeped in history, gothic architecture and narrow, cobbled streets. The walk is conveniently divided into two parts
of three hours each, giving you time to explore the village and castle and to
have lunch in one of the local restaurants, before heading back to La Torre.
Alternatively along the way there are plenty of
perfect spots to rest, relax and enjoy a picnic whilst taking in the
spectacular views and mountain scenery.
Route 3
- La Torre del Visco
to La Fresneda
La Fresneda is situated on a hill overlooking almond
and olive groves with stunning views of the Els Ports mountain range in the
distance.
On this walk you will see one of the most impressive
waterfalls in the area - El Salt is 20 metres drop and when the river Tastavins is
full the cascade is impressive. The
trail will also take you past the interesting remains of the monastery of
Virgen de Gracia and through the farming village of La Portellada.
In La Fresneda, itself, you have a choice of two very
pleasant restaurants for lunch and there are a variety of small artisan shops
which sell a good range of local produce (olive oil, goat’s cheeses, almonds,
cured meats etc).
