Parc del Foix

Water among vineyards and castles. The interest of this area focuses on the large variety of ecological environments that have been generated around the Foix reservoir, one of the few wet areas of the Penedès, with a rich architectural and historical heritage organised around the castles of Penyafort and Castellet, of great strategic importance during the Middle Ages.
