Alt Penedès - Garraf Medieval Tour
For centuries, the Penedès-Garraf area adjoined the lands conquered by the Saracens. They were riotous, violent times, pestered by the clashes between the new groups of Christians rather than by Muslim attacks. The monasteries, hospitals, old medieval villages, churches, chapels and, above all, castles that you’ll come across are silent witness to the legends and stories of past times.
