Alpicat offers a range of ways to explore: municipal walking routes, historic architecture, sport climbing and swimming activities. Depending on whether you are more interested in nature and local history, architectural styles or sports, you can choose a different focus. The architectural features of the Església parroquial de Sant Bartomeu and the different uses of the municipal Rocòdrom and Piscines municipals offer particularly concrete points of interest.
Walking routes and local history
The municipal programme “Rutes per descobrir Alpicat” suggests walking routes that combine nature experiences, exploring different places in Alpicat and insights into smaller chapters of local history. It is a fitting way to explore if you want to consider the landscape and local history together. One specific route theme is “El regadiu. Canals, séquies i basses”: the title places irrigation, along with canals, séquies and basses, at the centre, giving your choice of route a thematic focus. This way, you can follow a specific topic on a walking route.
The municipality provides a GPX download for the Ruta del Rec Nou. If you plan to include this route, check in advance that the file is available.
Architectural history at Sant Bartomeu and Cal Negre
The Església parroquial de Sant Bartomeu offers several architectural points of interest. It was built in the late 18th century in a transitional style, on the site of a small Gothic church, of which only a few sculptural fragments remain. The simple façade has Baroque features, while the interior is more Neoclassical in style. The bell tower also combines a specific history with clearly identifiable forms: it was rebuilt in 1988, is octagonal and has a roof made of blue glazed ceramic.
Cal Negre is a historic building of notable cultural value, built in 1741. By comparison, Sant Bartomeu stands out for its several stylistic and architectural features, while Cal Negre is notable for its clearly established construction date. Anyone wishing to explore architectural history in detail can compare these two different types of information.
Sport climbing and swimming activities
The municipal Rocòdrom adds sport climbing to the cultural and walking-route themes. It hosts educational, competitive and school activities; the facility is 10 metres high and has 500 climbing holds. As another sporting highlight, the orienteering event “Els Tossals d'Alpicat” held its fourth edition in 2026.
The Piscines municipals consist of four swimming pools and include a children's play area and bar service. During the summer season, swimming lessons and numerous recreational water activities take place there. If these activities are a deciding factor for your visit, it is worth checking the seasonal dates.
These sporting activities fall at different times of the year: “Els Tossals d'Alpicat” held its fourth edition in 2026, while swimming lessons and water activities take place during the summer season. If you are planning your visit around one of these, check the relevant dates in advance.
