ADVENTURE IN THE COSTA DORADA MOUNTAINS

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.

Mountains and Adventure, 30 Minutes from the Beach

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.

A Family Day of Climbing

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?

Via Ferrata: A Vertical Hike

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.

Combine Beach and Mountain

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.
(Original) Hice el curso de iniciación a la escalada y la experiencia fué muy gratificante. Con nulos conocimientos de escalada me sentí en todo momento acompañado y seguro.

Santi is an amazing teacher. It is very clear that he has a lot of experience and you can ask him anything about climbing amongst other things. Santi is also super friendly and easy to get along with. I would absolutely recommend the lead-climbing course I did here. It felt very professional and complete and I think it is one of the best ones you can get. Another note; Santi made awesome pictures of us :-), thank you so much for everything!

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended, they took us in a perfect environment for climbing, with other options in case it was very crowded, they taught us everything we needed to be able to be autonomous in terms of the most appropriate security techniques, practicing everything from there. first moment: go first, place the tapes well and plate, use the grigri in the safest way, make a meeting also in the safest way, and even fall and dynamization techniques. I am very grateful because they solved all my doubts and even helped me choose material!! Nice day of climbing, good people and a lot of learning! A hug to Santi and Yoel
