Carme and Sergi's Secret. The word “Pèlag”

Carme and Sergi have a shared secret. At the beginning of their relationship, this couple formed by a natural from Penedès and a woman from Barcelona, were talking about the unusual words spoken in different places in Catalonia. When Sergi described to her the word we use in Penedès to define a “very stable mass of water” she was very surprised: “Pèlag?”. A pool of water?

When telling her this word, Sergi had in mind the reservoirs that most Penedès people know, but they are undiscovered by many: the Pèlags of Vilobí. Due to the mining exploitation in this town, which goes from Roman times to the end of the 20th century, 4 underground water pools emerged, which now form the complex in the Parc dels Talls.

Currently, the 4 pools are part of El Parc dels Talls de Vilobí del Penedès, a protected natural area, perfect for walking with your partner, family or friends. An environment full of corners that was the witness of Carme and Sergi very first romantic date.
