Castells branded itinerary
Castells de Marca is a circular route that can be done in one go, or through the castles (Penyafort Castle, Olèrdola Castle and Castellet Castle) in stages starting from three differentiated sections.
The proposal aims to make known three heritage and tourist complexes, currently preserved in the region, of the old fortified line that defended the lands conquered by Al-Andalus in the first medieval centuries.
Section 1 - Penyafort Castle to Olèrdola Castle
Section 2 - Olèrdola Castle at Castellet Castle
It descends to the Llampeig torrent, to continue to Castellet. The castle square is a good point to reflect in the waters of the Foix reservoir and discover some of the birds that live or are passing through.
Section 3 - Castellet Castle at Penyafort Castle
