ADVENTURE IN THE COSTA DORADA MOUNTAINS
Recommended activities to enjoy with family or friends on the Costa Dorada.
Recommended activities to enjoy with family or friends on the Costa Dorada.
The Costa Dorada is known worldwide for its beaches, but its coastline is backed by mountains that make it just as attractive for adventure lovers as for sun-seekers.
From Salou or Cambrils, it only takes about 30 minutes to reach the Muntanyes de Prades and the Serra de Montsant, two mountain ranges that offer some of the best climbing and hiking in Catalonia.
The area is home to more than 5,000 bolted routes, including the world-famous crags of Siurana and Margalef, along with several via ferratas — making it a perfect destination whether you're a seasoned climber or trying it for the first time.
Climbing isn't just for experts — it's a fantastic activity to enjoy as a family or with friends, combining fresh air, physical activity, and a real sense of achievement for climbers of any level.
People travel from all over the world to climb in Siurana and Margalef, so if you're already on the Costa Dorada, why not take the opportunity to discover what makes this area so special?
Looking for a different way to experience the mountains? Via ferrata routes offer a vertical hiking adventure suitable for the whole family, using fixed cables, ladders, and bridges to progress safely along the rock face. Two of the best options in the area are the Patacons and La Morera de Montsant via ferratas.
The Patacons via ferrata is a great introduction to the activity, with a mix of exposed sections and spectacular views over the surrounding countryside — ideal for those trying via ferrata for the first time.
La Morera de Montsant via ferrata takes you through the dramatic landscape of the Serra de Montsant, offering a longer and more varied route for those looking for an extra challenge.
One of the best things about the Costa Dorada is that you don't have to choose between beach and mountain — spend the morning climbing or hiking in the Serra de Montsant, and be back on the sand by the afternoon.

(Translated by Google) I did the introductory climbing course and the experience was very rewarding. With no knowledge of climbing I felt accompanied and safe at all times. Santi is a great teacher and you can see both his passion and his involvement. Very motivational and understanding. Totally recommended even for people without knowledge or practice.
