AJUNTAMENT DE
SANTA MARGARIDA I ELS MONJOS
Linear route that takes advantage of the impressiveness of two castles of medieval origin, Penyafort and Castellet castles, to cross a region of woodland and vineyards within the Foix Park protected natural area. The route is signposted with vertical milestones.
Starting outside Penyafort Castle, we set off along the asphalt road that borders the building. Keeping on the main path, we ignore several turnings on either side. We pass several farmhouses and cross Sal i Pebre stream. We continue along the main asphalt road ignoring other turnings to the right and to the left until we reach a crossroads. We turn left, along a dirt track that leads us to Mas Bellestar farmhouse. Before the bulwark door, we turn right by the side of some old livestock pens. We continue the way between vineyards and woodland until we reach a wider path that we will take to the left and shortly after an asphalt track, also to the left. Just at the first bend, we leave it to continue straight ahead following the Mas Pigot estate next to a vineyard. We can see the farmhouse and the remains of an old columbarium. We continue along the edge of the vineyard, going down to the lower terrace until we find a track on the left leading into the woods. We follow this path that crosses a leafy area until we reach some old crop terraces. We follow their left-hand side and continue along the path that ascends through the vegetation until we reach a wider forest track. We continue to the right, bordered by woods, leaving some side turnings behind. We reach a crossroads in the middle of an agricultural area and continue along the path on the left which descends slightly until, after 100m, we find a junction (the one to the left is chained closed). We continue along the right-hand track that will take us to the village of Torrelletes. Once we get there, we go down a few steps to the left and down carrer Sta. Magdalena to the end, where the street continues along a dirt road. At the first bend we take a path to the right that penetrates the thickets. After about 600 m we find a wider path that we follow to the left until we find the Cluca stream crossing. We continue among vineyards on the other side of the stream and turn right towards the BV 2117 local road. We skirt around it about 10 m on the left without crossing it and continue along the paved track that we can see in front and will take us to the village of Castellet.
