 Visit Campdàsens 11th Century Tower & 1853 Chapel

Campdàsens is mentioned in old documents in 11th Century (41.260626,1.878941)

A great drive 25 mins from Sitges, taking in the coast road, cement factory, semi scary winding road and Sitges History, with the oldest documented Sitges dwellings.

Better than staying in and waching telly!

(Directions : Carretera de Barcelona a Valls/C-31 11.5 km, 25 mins)
Note: Not the current church/battlements)

Directions

Take the road opposite the Cement Factory at Vallcarca, on the main C-31’Barcelona to Sitges Coast Road’ (N 41 14 27 01 51 47). It takes you under the road & railway into the Cement factory district. Pass onto a round-a-bout and towards the actual Cement Quarries some locally from 1901 (the other road is resticted and gives access to the motorway from both sides. For Toll & maintainance.).

Almost immediately a road under the C-32 signposted Áridos Uniland SA goes off to the right (N 41 14 35/01 51 35). It is a narrow rising road, winding up the side of the hill, with a sign to Campdàsens and a steep drop. Paved and not for the faint hearted, but fine for most (N 41 14 59/01 51 53 E).
