The westbound route, passing through Igualada, proposes a series of interventions of very diverse nature. The pioneering approach of the Torre-Sana social housing, which places communal space at its centre as a renewed way of living, or the expressiveness and poetics of the Igualada Cemetery are today more or less consolidated milestones of contemporary architecture.

Other interventions linked to ongoing city and territorial infrastructures, such as the Can Boada Reservoir in Terrassa, or former ones, such as the Harinera de Cervera, are combined with striking tectonic proposals to complete the itinerary.

Highlights:

Torre-Sana Social Housing Block
Rehabilitació del Dipòsit de Can Boada
Cervera Flour Mill
Church of Vilanova de la Barca
Parc Central, Skatepark i Biollac
The New Igualada Cemetery
Igualada Crematorium

Accessibility: Easy route suitable for most people. It includes medium or long walking sections, mainly flat and paved, although some areas may have reduced accessibility or uneven surfaces.
