Discover Alpicat

Alpicat offers a range of themes to consider when planning your trip: the municipal route programme combines nature experiences with discovering the town and learning about local history. There is also the architectural history of the Església parroquial de Sant Bartomeu and Cal Negre, as well as municipal sports and water facilities. This lets you tailor your stay to the interests you would like to explore locally.

Routes, water and local history

The municipal programme “Rutes per descobrir Alpicat” suggests circular routes that combine nature experiences, discovering different places in Alpicat and learning about lesser-known chapters of local history. One specifically named theme is “El regadiu. Canals, séquies i basses”. The title refers to irrigation, canals, irrigation channels and water basins, placing a focus on water alongside the programme’s historical insights. If you are choosing between local history and the theme of water as you plan your visit, this route name gives you a specific point of reference.

The municipality provides a GPX download for the Ruta del Rec Nou. If you would like to prepare a route using digital map data, the file can be a practical starting point. Check whether the download is available before your visit.

Architecture at Sant Bartomeu and Cal Negre

The Església parroquial de Sant Bartomeu was built in the late 18th century in a transitional style. Its simple façade has Baroque features, while the interior is more strongly Neoclassical in style. The combination of these stylistic features gives the building a distinct architectural character: the façade and interior have different emphases. The church was built over a small Gothic church, of which only a few sculptural fragments remain. Alongside the design of the later building, there are therefore traces of an earlier building phase.

Cal Negre adds another perspective on local architectural history. This historic building of notable cultural value was built in 1741. While Sant Bartomeu has several architectural points of reference in its transitional style and Gothic predecessor, Cal Negre offers a clear chronological reference point with its specific year of construction. For travellers who want to get to know Alpicat through its architecture, the points of interest therefore differ: one focuses on stylistic features and building phases, the other on a precise construction date.

Sports and water facilities

The municipal Rocòdrom hosts instructional, competitive and school activities in sport climbing. The facility is 10 metres high and has 500 climbing holds. These figures describe different features: the height indicates its vertical dimension, while the number of holds describes the climbing equipment. Together, they give you a more detailed picture of the facility than either figure alone. The stated uses also differ: they include learning, competition and school activities in sport climbing.

The Piscines municipals consist of four swimming pools and have a children's play area and a bar. Swimming lessons and numerous water-based leisure activities take place there during the summer season. The seasonal aspect is part of planning for these activities: if you would like to plan your trip around them, check the dates for your preferred travel period. This helps distinguish the seasonal water activities from the municipality’s other activity offerings.

The orienteering event “Els Tossals d'Alpicat” also held its fourth edition in 2026. Together with the routes and the Rocòdrom, it offers another way to take part in activities in Alpicat, while Sant Bartomeu and Cal Negre are primarily points of interest for architecture and history.
