Today’s tour will take us ahead of the cellars Colet and Parés Baltà, available for a visit, to El Pla del Penedès through La Munia, where we can stop to know the story of a dream, Terra de Marca. From there we will go to Sant Martí Sarroca. There the Monumental Rock awaits. We aim a rise of 9 km to the upper Font-Rubi. At the highest part, called the Balcony of the Penedès will give us a view of the flatland, before starting the descent to Guardiola.

From El Pla del Penedès we will continue direction of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia through a section of the Olympic 92 Barcelona road cycling circuit, and for those who want a visit to the Jean Leon winery, which will surprise us with its spectacular wine experiences. At Capital of Cava, it is essential to stop to visit one of their cellars. We recommend the impressive modernist Cavas Codorniu (Artistic Historical Monument), to live an exciting journey to the origins of cava. Then we’ll go on a flat walk to the Romanesque monastery of Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs (eleventh century and declared of National Interest).

TARMAC SL4
The Tarmac doesn’t do one thing well, it does everything exceptionally—which is why it’s been ridden to victory in all three Grand Tours. The Tarmac’s advanced materials add a modern edge to the lively character of a classic race bike, while its Rider-First Engineered™ design ensures that the Tarmac sprints, corners, and descends with uniform excellence across every size.
ROUBAIX SL4
Named for one of the sport’s most storied and demanding races, the Roubaix is built to excel on the worst roads and in nasty conditions. Smoother is faster, so the Roubaix’s carbon construction is designed to maximize vertical compliance, while Zertz inserts and a CG-R seatpost work to absorb road chatter. And to make the Roubaix feel stable and comfortable on the longest of rides, the frame is built with our Endurance Geometry.
AMIRA
Sure, you train hard and eat right, but there’s just one thing missing—an edge. The Amira gives you two. First, there’s the performance edge you get from its FACT carbon frame and tapered head tube. The combination results in responsive handling and true get-up-and-go accelerations. Then comes the psychological edge. The feeling that, when teamed up with a lightweight, high-performance machine, there’s no limit to what you can achieve together.
