In the northeast of the region of Tarragonès is the Baix Gaià, a territory that includes the municipalities of Altafulla, Creixell, Torredembarra, Roda de Berà, La Nou de Gaià, Renau, Vespella de Gaià, Salomó, La Pobla de Montornès, La Riera de Gaià, El Catllar and Tarragona. These villages follow the lower stretch of the Gaià River and combine sea and mountain forming a mosaic of colours.
Along the 40 km of rural paths that make up the Ronda Verda (Green Route), you will discover, either on foot or by bike, a variety of landscapes: forests, Mediterranean crop fields, dry stone margins, areas of natural interest and quiet golden sandy beaches. Along the Ronda Verda, you can stop off at the various viewpoints that offer spectacular views.
Healthy itineraries await you in Baix Gaià. It is a real pleasure to follow these signposted mountain bike routes along well-preserved paths around the town centres, such as the Torredembarra - Tarragona stage, where you can enjoy the beaches and the architecture.
As we enter the villages of Baix Gaià, we will enjoy an exquisite variety of monuments, charming old towns, churches, hermitages, important Roman remains declared UNESCO heritage sites and medieval castles, which we can discover by following the Baix Gaià Castles Route.
Baix Gaià also enjoys an extraordinary gastronomic heritage, with a great diversity and quality of products produced in the territory: wine, oil, cava, artisan bread, cheese, dairy products, and carob beans are some of the examples.
