Landscapes

Nature, nature parks and landscapes are finally more and more appreciated now as a huge asset in this part of Catalonia. Still, the great writers, poets and photographers who have immortalized these natural treasures have not really caught the imagination yet of the outsider. What of the great stories and myths that inhabit these landscapes? You´ll look in vain in the official brochures. I don´t think anyone can deny that the hills and mountains of the Montsant range, the Prades mountains, the Poblet woodlands, the Gaià valley or the vine-clad terraces of the Priorat are the stuff of artists and writers. The legends of the sacred mountain of southern Catalonia (Montsant), the painters of the Terra Alta and the epic image of the canyons of the Els Ports natural park are waiting to be fully discovered by the foreign visitor.
