From easy walks to caves and peaks to traces of local history, Cabra del Camp offers a range of themes to explore. Water is also part of the picture: springs, streams and an irrigation system are all part of the local heritage. This gives you several ways to plan your trip—nature destinations, water-related history and buildings from different periods.

Water Heritage and Landscape

Water-related heritage includes numerous springs, among them del Sant Crist, de Cabarrà, de la Salut, de la Creu del Gall, de Conill and de Fontscaldetes. There is also a livestock watering trough, a washhouse, streams and bridges. An irrigation system supplied the residents’ gardens. So this is about more than individual springs: the theme also includes structures and ways of using water. The irrigation system highlights the practical use of water, while the springs and streams are part of the landscape.

Walks to Caves and Peaks

Easy walks around Cabra del Camp lead to the caves Cova del Manco, Cova del Traces and Cova dels Miquelets, as well as to the peaks of Voltorera, Puig de Cabdells, els Jordans and Cogulló. The peaks offer impressive views. This distinction can help you choose: the caves are specific destinations, while the peaks are associated with views. The municipality provides a downloadable PDF with detailed maps of the walking trails around Cabra del Camp. Before your walk, check the trail conditions and make sure the file is still available.

Local History and Distinctive Buildings

Cabra Castle is mentioned as early as 980. The present-day village was established in 1194 following a relocation ordered by King Alfonso I; it was also granted a charter. The two dates refer to different events: 980 to the castle, and 1194 to the relocation of the present-day village. The Església de Santa Maria is one of the visitor attractions and dates from the 18th century. Check visiting arrangements before planning a visit. The cooperative winery in Cabra del Camp dates from 1919 and was designed by Cèsar Martinell. In Fontscaldetes, an abandoned settlement within the municipality, the old church has been restored. A ten-metre-high Mazinger Z sculpture stands in the settlement of Mas del Plata, within Cabra del Camp. The castle and the relocation of the village hark back to the Middle Ages, while the church and winery represent architecture from later periods. Fontscaldetes and Mas del Plata add further distinct attractions: the old church and the sculpture, respectively.
