Prades Mountains Tours and Activities

These cool, pine-forested peaks high above the resort-encrusted Catalonian coastline are often called the "Crown of Aragon," stronghold of James I. The Prades Mountains, Mantunyas de Prades in the Catalan language, remain a quiet retreat from the cares of the world.

The mountains are developed primarily for eco-tourism, with natural parks, fantastic camping opportunities, hiking trails, rock climbing, and many other attractions for active tourists. Ancient towns hewn from stone atop impossibly scenic outcroppings offer a dose of culture, such as the castles of Siurana (Priorat) and Prades, andMonastery of Santa Maria de Poblet.
