3. SEA AND MOUNTAIN ROUTE FOR EXPERTS THROUGH THE PRIORAT AND BAIX CAMP REGIONS

Route description

This is one of the longest routes we propose, but the trip through the Priorat and the Baix Camp will allow you to enjoy both spectacular sea and mountain views. We leave Cambrils heading towards Mont-roig del Camp, where we start the first mountain pass to the Colldejou pass, which opens the doors to the Priorat for us. From here, we make a quick descent to Marçà and start the second port ascending from Falset to the Coll de Falset pass, with spectacular views of Porrera in the background. From Porrera we start the ascent to La Teixeta, from where we will have a fun descent to Duesaigües. We will pass the Riudecanyes dam and arrive at Montbrió del Camp. From here, we still have about 20 km, always with favourable terrain until Vila-seca, to finish the route with even 6 km from Salou to Cambrils.

A thermal circuit

Surrounded by botanical gardens of centenary plants and sculptures, we find the Hotel Hotel Termes Montbrió, in Montbrió del Camp, built at the point where a source of thermal water was found. This is a resort to rest and connect with you. One of the most precious gems is the Aquatonic, a unique spa in the province of Tarragona. There you can submerge, swim or just walk inside the natural f Aquatonic hot springs. You will come out revitalized and with the effects of all the therapeutic properties of the minerals of a truly special waters!

 

A walk through Porrera

To the east of the Priorat, region, a few kilometres from Coll de la Teixeta, we find Porrera. This town, apart from being known throughout the world for its connection with wine and with the singer Lluís Llach, has many points of interest, such as the San Antonio Abad hermitage, built in the 17th century, or the many scattered sun clocks throughout the urban centre and its municipal term. The most significant are the inclined vertical clock, the `Reloj de Tarde´ (Afternoon Clock), on Plaza de la Guineu square and the large, inclined vertical quadrant, located in Pau Casals Street.

The Riudecanyes Dam is a unique space to practice different nautical activities. From April onwards, you can practice kayak, paddle surf or pedal boats surrounded by nature. Do not miss the fantastic feeling of living on a beautiful lake!
