Discover Marçà – Holiday Apartment in Marçà Amid Wine, Trails and Village Culture

Marçà combines wine, village culture and trails through a distinctive landscape. Anyone considering a holiday apartment in Marçà as a base for their own trip will find opportunities for culture, walks, a longer route and cycling tours. There is also a museum, a church, traditional customs and the wines of Acústic Celler.

Culture and Local History in Marçà

The museum is dedicated to the sculptors Marçà-Gine and Lula Pérez. The third floor contains archaeological remains found by residents in the surrounding area, as well as paintings by the painter Josep Sancho i Piqué, who was born in Marçà and died in 1959.

The Church of Santa Maria is Neoclassical, features Baroque elements and dates from the mid-18th century. Its 1930 bell tower houses four clocks.

Landscape and Trails Around Marçà

La Miloquera is a small hill with vertical shafts more than 100 m deep and of great speleological significance. The Calvari trail is suitable for walking and leads to this elevation, where castle ruins and a viewpoint are located.

La Pallissa forms a small natural basin shaped by red earth in the drainage basin of the Riera de Marçà stream. The site is suitable for eating and is a starting point for excursions. In the Mas del Magrinyà woodland lies Font dels Tres Batlles, 2.5 km from the village; it too is suitable for walking.

La Carrerada de les Taules is an old route mainly established for driving livestock. Preserved boundary walls are still visible, and in clear weather it offers extensive views. Classified as a moderate route, it covers 10.00 km, includes 422 m of elevation gain and takes 3 hours and 50 minutes.

Wine, Cycling Tours and Traditions

The wines of Acústic Celler are based on traditional, predominantly organic viticulture and old vines of the Garnatxa and Carinyena varieties. Acústic Celler offers tours of the winery and vineyards, as well as wine tastings and sampling sessions. This makes the wine perspective a concrete complement between landscape and culture.

Marçà is the starting point for four cycling tours connecting the village with Falset, Bellmunt and Capçanes. The routes therefore provide a distinct focus for travellers who would like to include cycling in their plans.

The Espígol is a traditional part of Marçà’s main village festival on 15 August, during which children walk through the streets throwing lavender. On 26 December, the Completes are sung in the church; this is a very old ritual dating back to the 15th century.
