Places to visit

La Torre de Fontaubella is a picturesque little village, overlooked by the imposing bulk of La Mola, with its flat top set amid a landscape of shady, well-watered woodlands.

One of the many worthwhile walks is up La Mola along one of several waymarked paths. At the top of La Mola are the remains of a watch tower. From the top you can see the Mediterranean sea and much of the Costa Daurada, including the Cap de Salou, making up a wonderful view on clear days. There are also walks in the Llaberia hills, including to the village of the same name, and the Argentera hills, where there is a well-preserved square Romanesque tower. Also recommended is the footpath through the Enderrocada wind farm.
