El Perelló offers a range of themed ways to plan your stay: historic buildings and routes, nature watching, beekeeping and local products. When planning your trip, you can start by choosing between culture, nature and regional products. It is also worth considering the time of year, as not all wildlife sightings and events take place in the same month.

History and tangible traces

Molí de Vent is a municipal historic monument dating from 1564. It was reconstructed and inaugurated on 22 September 2001. Torre dels Moros, officially Torre de les Guàrdies, represents a different chapter in the history of technology: it was built in the mid-19th century as an optical telegraph tower and belonged to a chain of towers that extended as far as the French border.

Torre dels Moros can be reached directly by car via the road that branches off at the southern entrance to El Perelló. This provides specific directions for reaching the tower. By contrast, the historical extent of the surviving remains of the Via Augusta is what matters here: they stretch for about four kilometres in El Perelló.

The Museu Municipal also offers a distinct perspective on the past. Its collection includes tools, agricultural equipment and materials from the Spanish Civil War. It also includes flint fragments from Cova de la Mallada. The collection thus brings together everyday and agricultural history with an archaeological context.

Nature routes and planning your visit

The Cabrafeixet rock paintings can be reached by car, are well signposted and can be visited without a guide. If you plan to visit, check the latest visitor information before setting off, as access details may change.

The coastal section of the GR-92 in El Perelló is just under five kilometres long and well signposted; it also has varying levels of difficulty. When choosing, therefore, take the different difficulty levels into account as well as the approximate length. The distance alone does not describe every aspect of the route.

Barranc de les Calobres is home to a wide variety of animals. Another seasonal nature experience is the route to Pantà de les Calobres, where you can see water lilies in bloom in May. The wildlife in the barranc and the blooms at the reservoir are different nature experiences, which you can consider separately when planning your trip.

Bees, honey and olive oil

At the Espai Natural in Muria, visitors can observe and learn about the habitat of bees and bee colonies. This also includes honeycombs—or cells—with pollen and honey, as well as the tools used by beekeepers. As visitor arrangements may change, it is best to check them in advance.

Typical products from El Perelló include rosemary, orange blossom and wildflower honey, as well as extra virgin olive oil. Firabril, a honey and olive oil fair, takes place in El Perelló in April. If you would like to include the fair in your travel plans, check the specific event dates.

The seasonal recommendations for choosing when to travel differ: Firabril takes place in April, while the water lilies bloom along the route to Pantà de les Calobres in May. You can therefore choose your focus according to which month better suits your trip.
