Passeig del Rec del Solà

The Passeig del Rec del Solà is a walking route in Andorra la Vella that follows an old irrigation channel running through the valley for several kilometers. Along the way, vegetable gardens line the path, showing the connection between water management and farming that defines this area.

The route began as an irrigation system built to supply water for farming and shaped how the valley developed over time. This water infrastructure reveals how communities organized settlement and agriculture in this mountain setting.

Local residents tend vegetable gardens along the route, reflecting farming customs that have remained part of community life. These working plots show how agriculture continues to shape daily rhythms in this valley.

The path is easy to walk and requires no special skills since the slope is very gentle throughout. Plan to visit during warmer months and wear comfortable shoes to enjoy the full length comfortably.

The route includes three different information points that each tell a different story about the valley: agricultural change, urban growth, and human adaptation to the environment. These stations help visitors see the area from multiple perspectives as they walk.
