Route of the Castles of Gaia invites you to discover old buildings almost millennial through the natural border meant that the river in Gaia time the Marca Hispanica. Castles and towers in various states of preservation remain hidden resisting the traveler over the years and constantly remembering the past of these lands. It is a reunion with the medieval period and the nature of the region on horseback in the Conca de Barbera, Upper Camp and Lower Camp. The route starts at Biure of Gaia, at the foot of his manor castle, which rises at the end of the route. To get from Montblanc Biure taking the C-241d in NE to Santa Coloma de Queralt to break right after the TV-2014. Another alternative is making a point of departure and arrival Pontils where you come from ceremonies and Armentera Bridge, visiting castles and the passing of Carol and inexcusable Santa Perpetua de Gaia.
