The Bassa d’Aiguaviva, next to the Casa Gran in the town, is a small artificial pond that was once used to collect water and give life to the orchards and the village. Today it is a meeting point and refuge for ducks, a quiet corner that preserves the rural charm of other times. It is historically linked to the Casa Gran, which probably managed it, and is part of this everyday heritage that explains how people lived and took advantage of each resource in Montmell. Getting there by MTB is a good excuse to stop for a moment, breathe calmly and enjoy a different image: the old stone of the village reflected in the water and the ducks swimming, a pleasant contrast before pedaling again along the paths and tracks of the mountain range.

Aiguaviva, in the Montmell district, is a small village and at the same time a natural setting surrounded by vineyards, forests and old farmhouses. The town retains a peaceful rural atmosphere, with narrow streets, stone houses and the church of Sant Pere as its central point. On a MTB, getting to Aiguaviva means pedaling along dirt tracks and paths that alternate between demanding climbs and rapid descents between pine forests and farmland. It is a good place to stop, regain strength and enjoy the calm of a place where time seems to have stood still. In addition, paths leave from here that connect to other corners of Montmell, ideal for linking routes and discovering the mountain range from within.

The Pèlags of Vilobí del Penedès are a small natural place in Vilobí del Penedès, in the Alt Penedès region. This space is made up of the old gypsum quarries on the Vilobí hill. It is of great scenic beauty and great ecological and geological value. This is a very peculiar area, a wetland with the presence of many species of birds, including several protected. The Pèlags de Vilobí have the interesting feature that four different environmental spaces come together in the same area: rock, forestry, agriculture and water. [ The pelagics - also called the cuttings - appeared as a result of the gypsum extraction activity that dates back to Roman times and has been typical of Vilobí until 1993. Since it stopped being extracted stone, a natural space has been formed consisting of four pelagics. The concentration of runoff water has given rise to its characteristic crescent shape and the particular ecosystem that has developed in the environment. It has very interesting and very peculiar landscapes such as the quarries themselves, and a very peculiar fauna and flora. This microecosystem formed by the Vilobí pelagics contrasts sharply with the wine landscape of the Alt Penedès region. Wikiloc dixit
