ROUTE LANDSCAPES OF THE PENEDÉS REGION
To take this route, leave El Vendrell in the direction of Sant Jaume dels Domenys and at this point begin the climb towards Collada de les Ventoses. This is a winding road that offers you fantastic landscapes amidst very Mediterranean vegetation. La Collada is also known as "La Atalaya" (The Watchtower) because it takes you to a settlement with the same name. This ascent has a length of 7.7 kilometers and a gradient of 4.5%.
From here you descend to the Santes Creus monastery to return to El Vendrell through Vila-rodona and Bonastre.
This is the ideal route to discover the wine landscapes of the DO Penedès.
