Hiking around Siurana

Siurana village is often seen as the most beautiful place on the Costa Dorada (see also photo at the top). Located in the Montsant Nature Reserve, Siurana was founded in the 8th century and has been considered indestructible for centuries due to its unique location on the Serra de la Gritella plateau. You can park at the village and from Siurana take a nice walk along beautiful precipices and cliffs (about 10 km with 450 meters ascent / descent - see link below). Good to do with children. In addition, you can also walk nicely from Cornudella de Montsant to Siurana.

Mountain hike to Toll de L'Olla

Toll de L'Olla is one of the most beautiful places with a natural waterfall in Farena. A short walk will take you to this wondrous attraction. The water falls over huge boulders in a natural piscina.

Mountain hike Arbolí - Gorgs de la Febró

Gorgs de la Febró can be found in the Muntanyes de Prades and can be reached via a nice walk from Arbolí. Spectacular waterfalls, limestone cliffs and natural turquoise pools. This route is also nice in the summer because it is wonderful to cool off in the icy mountain water.
See link below for the walking route on Wikiloc, about 10 km from Arbolí to Gorgs de la Febró.

Moluntain hike to Fontcalda

Although the name translates to "hot spring", the water here is not very hot. The mineral water comes from a crack in the high canyon wall and the beauty of the canyon is well worth a visit. Also take a refreshing dip in the water.

Access to La Fontcalda can be difficult as it is located in a gorge in the high hills of Tarragona. There are two ways to access this hot spring: by car or on foot/bicycle. See below a link to an (easy) walking route of about 10 km in Wikiloc to La Fontcalda from Prat de Comte and back.
