With the family

Els Guiamets reservoir, in the south of the comparca (county) of the Priorat, is fed by the water of the Riera de Capçanes. It is an ideal place to enjoy nature, where a wide variety of birds can be seen, including grey herons, egrets, cormorants and mallards.

El Calvari is an archaelogical site (7th-6th century BC)  which is within the municipal boundaries of the village of El Molar. This historically important site is hidden in woodland and is perched on the top of a small hill. 

The Castle of Falset Regional Museum is a new museum space that proposes the historical and cultural discovery of Priorat region in a pleasant, immersive and interactive way.

 

This is a centre designed to publicise the natural and cultural heritage of Montsant as well as fostering the culture of olive oil.

 

Bridge of mediaeval origin spanning the Montsant river (14th century) built with square blocks on bare rock. Span 38m, 6m high and 3m wide. Stonemasons’ marks are visible.

The Priorat has been inhabited by hermits for many centuries. There are 15 hermitages which are scattered across the country, 10 in the Montsant Mountain Range area, set in places of outstanding natural beauty. Many of these hermitages can be reached by car.

"Mas de Sant Antoni" is to be found at the foothills of the Montsant mountain range near the village of La Morera de Montsant. You can get here by passing the Carthusian Monastery of Escaladei on a dirt track heading towards the mountain range. On the way, you will pass a building known as "La Pietat" which once belonged to the monastery and was used for monks who needed rest.  

A visit to the Eugènia mine at Bellmunt will take you down to the heart of the Earth, whilst explaining the day to day life of the miners of the town. Life in this little village was very different from the usual activity of the other villages of the Priorat.

The Montsant Mountain Range symbolises the Priorat and the Tarragona region. It is not one of the highest mountains, neither is it the one that stretches the furthest, and yet, the strength of its geography is unquestionable. This mountain range is compact, encircled in a great part by sheer cliffs and rocky areas formed during the Oligocene epoch.

Sant Gregori (Saint Gregory's) can be found one and a half km from Falset in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The hermitage which venerates Saint Anthony, has been built within a great red sandstone cave. It is a mysterious and fascinating place which seems to have been sculpted out of the rock by the wind.
