The Valls Municipal Sports Board launched its annual Nordic walking programme on 8 February, with approximately 20 people taking part in the first route near Tarragona. This activity aims to promote healthy physical exercise, contact with nature, and local knowledge.
The group explored some of Tarragona's most iconic heritage sites. The itinerary focused on the city's surroundings, leading participants to the Pont del Diable, also known as the Ferreres Aqueduct. This Roman structure, built between the 5th and 4th centuries BC, is one of the most monumental and well-preserved of its era, and the most important in Catalonia. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000.
Participants completed a route of about 10 kilometres in approximately three hours. The activity took place in a pleasant atmosphere, helped by good weather conditions, which made the day more enjoyable, according to officials.
Upcoming Nordic Walking Excursion
The Sports Board announced that the next outing is scheduled for Sunday, 8 March. It will start in the village of L'Illa. This circular route will cover about 9 kilometres, crossing two regions: Conca de Barberà and Alt Camp. The path will lead to the 785-metre summit of Cogulla de Miramar.
Those interested in the upcoming activity can register online via the Sports Board's website until 2 March. The cost is €5, or €3 for subscribers. This fee includes a monitor, pole hire, and limited accident insurance.
