A cool morning at Parc de l'Agulla: the lake lays a glassy strip against the rise of Montserrat, and the guide gathers the group beneath pines while a faint clatter of water marks the canal's course. The walk follows the last section of La Sèquia, a medieval irrigation channel that quietly shaped the farms and towns of the Pla de Bages.

A cool morning at Parc de l'Agulla: the lake lays a glassy strip against the rise of Montserrat, and the guide gathers the group beneath pines while a faint clatter of water marks the canal's course. The walk follows the last section of La Sèquia, a medieval irrigation channel that quietly shaped the farms and towns of the Pla de Bages.
La Sèquia is an engineering line across gentle slopes — 24.5 km of channel with only about ten meters of descent — that moved water and livelihoods across centuries. Along the route you'll pass fortified farmhouses, old sluices and masonry that show how people diverted and controlled water long before modern pipes. The tour closes at Sant Iscle, where an 11th-century Romanesque church and its stonework recall the area’s medieval parish life.
The landscape alternates between shaded riparian scrub and open terraces; geology is modest — mostly alluvial soils and worked bedrock where builders anchored the canal. Birdlife is active at the water's edge; the guide points out species and local farming practices that still depend on the Sèquia.
Practical: the route is 3 km and typically takes 90 minutes, starting at 10:45 after optional breakfast at the Berenador (15% discount voucher included). Wear grippy shoes for uneven paths, bring water and sun protection, and expect light walking on compact dirt and stone. Groups are small and multilingual; the pace is gentle, suitable for most fitness levels. For history buffs and short outdoor outings, this walk is an efficient, revealing taste of inland Catalonia.

La Sèquia is a medieval hydraulic work that shaped agriculture and settlement in the Pla de Bages; parts of the system date back to the Middle Ages and were maintained by local communities.
Riparian habitats along the canal are sensitive—stay on paths, avoid disturbing nesting birds, and follow local guidance to protect water quality.
