Calonge De Segarra – Coastal Paths, Culture and Water Sports

Calonge is home to El camí de ronda, a coastal path directly by the sea. When going on walks and routes, travellers should check current trail conditions before setting out. This preparation can be just as important for an activity by the sea as it is for paths through a valley or basin. The planned duration of the outing can also be taken into account when planning the day. Before a walk by the sea, it is also worth checking the latest information about the route.

Nature

Calonge is home to the Ses Torretes underwater trail. Calonge is home to the El Collet, Puigsesforques and the Calonge Plain route, entitled “Between History and Nature”. Calonge is home to La vall de Molins, the “Water Route”. Calonge is home to the route through La conca del Tinar, the “Vineyard Route”.

History

The medieval castle of Calonge dates from the 12th and 13th centuries. Castell Barri is a Roman settlement and is considered one of the most significant archaeological sites of its era. Torre Valentina is a watchtower and defensive tower from the 16th century. The church of Sant Martí is one of Calonge’s notable sights. Dolmens and menhirs attest to the area’s prehistoric origins. Torre Lloreta is one of Calonge’s notable historic buildings. A theatrical tour of Espai Gavarres presents the cultural heritage in an entertaining and participatory way, connecting the past with life today. The historical remains range from prehistoric stone structures through the Roman era and the Middle Ages to the early modern period. For historical visits, current opening hours should be checked; for the theatrical tour of Espai Gavarres, the current dates and start times are also important. Checking the schedule is especially part of the preparation when a visit has been firmly planned.

Coast

Platja de Torre Valentina is an urban beach with a promenade connecting it to two other beaches. Water sports can be enjoyed all year round on the beaches and in the secluded coves of Calonge. For water sports, travellers should check the latest information on conditions and possible times before travelling. A day at the beach and a walk along the promenade involve different activities; preparation can therefore be tailored to the specific activity planned.

On-site Visit
