Description: With the name of the Camí de les Terres del Riu Gaià, a hiking itinerary has been created that follows the course of the Gaià river, from its source at the sources of Les Canelles in Santa Coloma de Queralt to its mouth in the Mediterranean at Tamarit beach. It is a route of approximately sixty-five kilometers that allows us to get closer to the historical, heritage, natural, cultural, etc. wealth that spreads through every corner of the Gaià river valley and includes the regions of Conca de Barberà, Alt Camp and Tarragonès. The path of the Terres del Gaià, after Vila-rodona, is divided into two, one section passes through Renau and the other through Salomó. In Catllar they join again to the Mediterranean.
