Tips from the Community
Through the Camí de la Serra you reach the town of Forès, with one of the well-known classical walls. The prize is the spectacular view you'll have from above of the entire Conca de Barberà, a panorama you'll never forget.

It is the quintessential wall of the Segarra region. It's simply spectacular. It has beauty and above all toughness. It is 850 meters long with a maximum slope of 20.5%, which is at the end of the wall when you reach the town. The beauty of the wall lies in the fact that you can see the town of Forés in the background and you know that you have to climb to the top in a short space... and above all in the views from the town. Forés is one of the most beautiful places in Catalonia without a doubt. For more details, visit the website of the "Clásica dels Murs de Cervera" -- classicadelsmurs.cat

Cervera is the city where the "Marxa dels Murs de Cervera" cycle tour is organized; It is a non-competitive test ideal for enjoying the quiet roads and good landscapes... in addition to its toughness with its 19 levels. Spectacular.

It is a beautiful town with all kinds of services from which to organize spectacular bicycle routes through the regions of l'Anoia and La Segarra. The center and old town are worth a quiet visit. There are many restaurants where you can eat wonderfully at very reasonable prices. In my opinion, the best season to visit Cervera and its surroundings by bicycle are the months of April and May, in the full splendor of spring, where the green, yellow and red fields so characteristic of central Catalonia combine.

The monk's corral or monk's hut is a complex that is currently in ruins. The building is very particular, since it has some arches and columns, a watchtower and a small church. It is a magnificent example of the ancestral buildings that are spread along the Camino Real.

Forès is located on a promontory, which gives it magnificent views of the Conca de Barberá and its extensive orchard.

Guimerà is simply spectacular. Its historic center is built in stone, as well as its church and tower. If you get lost in its streets it is as if you get into a time machine that transports you to the Middle Ages.
