THE AREA
Welcome to Canyelles, a peaceful village nestled between the mountains and the sea. Here, you can enjoy the calm rhythm of Catalan countryside life while being close to vibrant Sitges and the cultural treasures of Barcelona.
“Here you feel the silence of nature — and hear the sea in the distance.”
LAS PALMERAS
The house is located in Las Palmeres, an urbanicacion, a small suburb, just outside the village of Canyelles. Les Palmeres is a quiet place, but it is also a place where people live. People and cars passing by now and then, dogs barking, a radio playing, and so forth.
A 10 minutes’ walk from the house you can go directly into the mountains and the hiking routes or the Parq Garraf. Download the app The Trail Zone HERE for a map of all the hiking routes in the area.
The house has 2 adult mountain bikes and a mountain bike for a child 8-10 years old.
CANYELLES
The village of Canyelles is a 5 minutes’ drive away, but you can also walk there. Opposite the football court there is a beautiful path, a 20 minutes’ walk. Canyelles has a couple of bars, a bakery, a pharmacy, a big supermarket and a Sunday market.
At Ingrid’s you can always get a solid menu del dia and a cold beer
“You will find yourself in the middle of the wine district Penedés, with wine and cava tours. And the small cosy villages, Olivella, Sant Pere de Ribes, El Castallet, just to mention some. There are lots to explore. But I promise you, you won’t feel like leaving a lot. La container casa seems to keep people close, enjoying life, disfrutando la vida.”
