About fifteen people walk 13 km along the Tarragona coast with Nordic walking

About fifteen people took part last Saturday in a Nordic walking tour along the Tarragona coastline, covering a route that totaled nearly 13 kilometers. This is no ordinary walk: the GR-92 coastal path was the setting for this sporting activity, starting and finishing at the La Móra beach parking lot.

The participants followed the trail that runs along the coast, a familiar area that always offers surprises and a challenge for the legs. The event was organized by the Valls City Council, which promotes healthy activities for its residents and visitors.

Benefits for health and the territory

Nordic walking not only improves cardiovascular and muscular health but also encourages discovering the territory in a sustainable way. This activity strengthens the connection of residents with the coastline and fosters respect for the environment.

Perspectives and upcoming events

Although participation is moderate, the trend is upward. The Valls City Council plans new similar activities to bring this sport closer to more people and consolidate a sports and tourism offer that connects the inland with the coast.

That about fifteen people put on their boots and poles to cover 13 kilometers is no small matter. Especially when they do it on the path that many think only serves to take selfies on the beach.
