Vilanova i la Geltrú – Puigmoltó

A small town like the old ones, Puigmoltó, a model of respect for the environment and for an architecture that fits it. The route takes us along the GR 92.4 trail while visiting large farmhouses such as the Masia d’en Cabanyes (which houses the Manuel de Cabanyes Romanticism Interpretation Center), the Torre del Veguer (large estate and muscat wine cellar) , Can Martí and the small town of Sota-Ribes, jewel of the Garraf inland heritage.

    Located on the outskirts, before the 19th century it was called Masía de Parellada. The Cabanyes family bought it in Parellada in 1790 and in 1798 they had the large neoclassical house built, where the poet Manuel de Cabanyes died.

    The Cabanyes family ceded it to the Town Council of Vilanova i la Geltrú in 1975. Since the 1990s it has been in the custody of the Garraf Regional Council, which has helped it with restoration, cataloguing and rehabilitation work, and in 2014 it was declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest by the Generalitat de Catalunya.

    It houses the Manuel de Cabanyes Romanticism Interpretation Centre. It offers the service of renting its facilities, an ideal space for cultural and leisure activities, as well as various ceremonies (civil weddings, banquets, meetings...).

    The oldest settlement in Ribes is in Sota-ribes, a small settlement built on a hill overlooking the confluence of the Espluga stream and the Ribes stream. In the highest part of the village is Ribes Castle, built in the High Middle Ages. Opposite it was a castle chapel that was completely renovated in the 17th century to become the church of Sant Pere.

    In front of the church stands the old rectory, next to which a paved path descends to the centre itself, which is crossed by the stream. Here we find the Casa del Terme, an old building of the Comú de Ribes documented from the 15th century. In the surrounding area there are several stone houses with openings made of worked stone.
