Itinerary description
This starts in the little pueblecito of Las Torres, between Sitges and Sant Pere de Ribes. We climb through vineyards and into a short stretch of forest. Here we find an ancient abandoned lime kiln which is great for turning into a fort. In winter and spring we'll find lots of wild asparagus for snacking. We then come out to more vineyards, and in the spring we'll find mirror orchids, bee orchids, and somber bee orchids. We pass under the highway and soon come across an old orchard of mixed fruit trees - in spring we snack on the nisperos, and in summer and autumn the blackberry bushes are loaded with fruit. This part of the route is also great for finding wild onions and garlic. We turn back at an old farm house, and with luck the farm's horse will be there to feed. On the return we enter the cluster of old houses in Las Torres and might stop off at the little shop for some fresh peas or other veggie snacks.
Animals we might see on this route include geckos, wall lizards, smooth and/or Montpellier snakes, midwife toads, various birds, including kestrels, and of course lots of different insects and spiders.
