The regional councils of Alt Camp, Conca de Barberà, and Urgell have introduced a new set of promotional resources to boost the GR 175 hiking and cycle tourism route.

Under the creative concept 'The path that transforms you', this initiative aims to improve support for users traveling between the monasteries of Santes Creus, Santa Maria de Poblet, and Santa Maria de Vallbona. The project seeks to strengthen the route's visual identity and enhance the visitor experience throughout their journey.
Key updates include a multilingual map-guide detailing the five stages of the route, suitable for hikers, mountain bikers, and e-bike users. Additionally, the 6T passport design has been updated, allowing participants to collect stamps in each town along the route, a system complemented by personalized diplomas for those who complete the entire trail.
This project, led by the Conca de Barberà Regional Council, was funded by the Next Generation EU recovery plan. The ultimate goal is to establish the GR 175 as a benchmark for sustainable tourism in Catalunya by improving visitor orientation and engagement tools.
