Les Masuques: Location and surroundings of this property

Les Masuques is a village located in the municipality of Castellet i la Gornal, on the border between the Alt Penedès region (to which it belongs) and Baix Penedès. Its population is around 200 inhabitants, so we could say that it is a relatively small village. From its origins until now, Les Masuques has been a rural village, surrounded by vineyards, and this can be seen in the date of its main festival, which is held just after the grape harvest is over. The village also has a small hermitage from the 12th century called Sant Esteve hermitage, located less than a kilometre away and which was given to the parish by the owners of the farmhouse next to it. A few metres from this hermitage there is a Roman bridge dating from before Christ. Its mother of God is "the Virgin Mary of Foix", patron saint of the village. Les Masuques is directly connected to the Carretera de Castellet, the only way to reach the village.
