What to do in El Priorat?
Serra del Montsant Natural Park
El Montsant is a symbol for El Priorat.
It is not the highest mountain nor the most extensive, yet the strength of its orography is unquestionable. It is a compact massif, with most of its perimeter walled by cliffs and rock formations of Oligocene conglomerates.
DO Montsant and DOQ Priorat wine
Priorat is a land that is associated with world-renowned wines and a lively and beautiful agricultural landscape, with Siurana and the Charterhouse of Escaladei as the most notable places of interest.
PDO Siurana oil
Although it is less known than the wine, the Priorat region produces an extraordinary olive oil. There are a dozen oil mills that can be visited, and the region has the Oil Route which leads the visitor to discover that olive trees are inseparable from the Priorat landscape and that, depending on which towns, they are even the predominant crop. Mainly assigned to the DOP Siurana, the mills work to publicize and share the culture of olive oil, a Mediterranean treasure.
