    another small location in costa daurada catalunya. the golden coast stretching from south of costa brava to tarragona.this place called la pineda, it's known because of the wide beach that covers about all the lenght of the place, along with a large pedestrian walk. There's also a water slide park if you apreciate it. a lot of tourist offers , hotels and restaurants, gives this place a centre location of catalunya and from there, explore all it's beauty and places.

    another small and charming location amongst all the others along the golden coast of catalunya. A couple of miles from Salou stands this charming location, wich offers you, a big mall at the center along with a lot of tourists surching for bargains and rememberences from Costa Daurada. At the top a small and charming marina given the place a somehow cosmopolitan look.

    once an important city from the roman empire still preserves a lot and outstanding roman monuments and a gorgeous monastery on the outskirts.
    tarragona deserves itself a unique pg, but only half of a sunday afternoon, does not give all the information required to develop a page like it should. i took some pics, that' s all.here's one.

    Segre
    by Peret
    In the french Catalonia, close to the border within Spain and France, there are "les fonts del Segre", this is, the fountains of the Segre. There the Segre is borned. In August you can't approach with the car too much, and you must to walk four hours from "Llo". In the other months, you can go with the car til a point from you will spend at least one hour and half. In the picture, we are out of the easy way, to enjoy more the walk, closer to the river.

    The landscape is great, in the middle of Pirineus, and you walk almost always close to the Segre, becoming an experience as you were accompanied for this lovely river. In the most warm days, you can also take a bath. In Llo there are also warm watter where you can take a healthy bath.
    Is not easy find information about this lovely place, but you'll find not too much, but people.

    The region round Olot is full of vulcanos. There are about 40 inactive volcanos. It's also a great region for hiking, there are lots of special hiking trails. We made a stop at a parking near the volcan San Magarida. We climbed on the bottom of the vulcano and then went inside it, where is the little church!
    Don't forget the water when it's hot!
    Near there parking, there is a well, so you can fill your bottle again!

    Tossa was the place I loved a lot. It is not full of high hotels, it kept so more of its beauty than several other places along the coast. Sitting in a restaurant in the evening, looking on the sea, seeing the lights of the castle, having a great meal, what else do i need?

    The Delta de l'Ebre is where the Ebre river finish in sea. There, the ground is completely flat, and the water goes around and become the lord of the land. This is a not to much known zone, and maybe is better that keep like this. But i think that the VT's have right to know the land where the clouds swim in the water.

    View of La Mola
    by crazyguitar
    This nice park is located near Terrassa, Sabadell and Matadepera, in Valles Occidental Comarca. The highest point is La Mola (1.105 meters), there is a romanesque monastery and some facilities such a restaurant. The only way to reach the top is hiking, from 1 hour to 2 and a half depending on the path.
    In a clear day the view is amazing, you can see Barcelona, the sea and even Mallorca, Montserrat, the Pyreness...

    Train Lleida - Pobla de Segur

    Train in Terradets Canyon
    by xtarafa
    This is a quite escenic trip by train. It goes from Lleida to La Pobla de Segur on the foot of the Pyrinees.
    The trip take a couple of hours. Once there, you can come back or try to reach some of the most scenics places of the Pyrinees such as Parc Nacional d'Aigues Tortes i Sant Maurici. However, communications are no so good (just a few buses).
    On the way, the train passes close to a couple of marshes and through Congost de Terradets (Terradets canyon) very good place for climbing. Also stops in Ager, town with interesting romanesque architecture. There is also some Mountain Bike routes which passes close to some of the train stations.
    An old railway station (Cellers) has become an hostel for climbers, walkers and mountain bikers, so there is plenty to do there.
