On the Pentecost weekend we rented a car and stayed for 2 nights in Montbrio del Camp (near Reus). From there we visited the monastery and castle of Escornalbou which has a fantastic view towards the coast (if the weather would be good). On the next day we went to Siurana, a small, lovely village on top of a cliff. The landscape is very nice, the barrier lake of Siurana is just below and there would be some nice walks around it. Unfortunately it was quite windy and because of it also a bit cold.
On the last day on the way back to Barcelona we stopped in Castellet, a newly renovated village on a peninsula above the Foix barrier lake. The castle on the top looks very impressive and the whole surrounding area is part of a natural park with many hiking possibilites.
