With the family

Siurana reservoir, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, is surrounded by the Montsant and Prades mountain ranges. It is fed by the Siurana river which is one of the main affluents of the Ebro river.  

This hermitage is perched on a hill of "Llicorella" (Slate) soil on the outskirts of Gratallops. This spot affords fantastic views over the the heart of the Priorat county and Montsant mountain range.

One of the best places to understand the immensity of the Priorat landscape is the Sant Pau (Saint Paul) hermitage. This hermitage is to be found one and a half km. north-east of the village of La Figuera.

The Montsant via ferrata was put up by the Associació Excursionista de Catalunya de Reus in 2002 and renewed in 2015 by the Montsant nature park in collaboration with a working committee made up of La Morera de Montsant town hall, the Catalan government fire brigade, the federation of Catalan walking groups (FEEC), technical staff from the park and the landowner.
