SEPTEMBER 2022 : SPAIN : Prades - Siurana -Cornudella



Prades - Siurana - Cornudella


Traditional breakfast



Weekly market in the main plaza. Lots of interesting little speciality food shops and architectural gems down the alleyways of the town



Sergi our host. He drove us to Siurana before going rock climbing with a friend.



Landscape today. Totally different to previous days. Dry and enormous rocky cliffs - rock climbers dream and cyclists everywhere.
To the north..



To the south



Siurana. The last Arab stronghold in Catalonia. In the 11th century it became a vital military defence against the Christians.
Interesting to wander around and lunch in a quiet courtyard cafe.


The beautiful Romanesque church of Santa Maria



View to Cornudella, our destination today.
Mark was not confident walking down the stone path - 220m steep descent - so we organised a taxi.



Tonight we are in a top floor apartment in a beautiful hotel - La Palauet in Cornudella.
Everything is exquisite. 



View from our balcony towards Siurana



The hotel dining room



We have opted for the Degustation menu tonight



Muy rico!


Full moon over the mountains
