The best MTB trails around Barberà De La Conca

It's always a pleasure to cross this bridge that leads us to the Viñes Pastry Shop along the main street. The Borratxo is incredible, one of the best.

Halfway between the monasteries of Santa Maria de Vallbona and Santes Creus, the town of Rocafort de Queralt belongs to the region of Conca de Barberà (Tarragona). Its origin is in the 11th century and in 1370 the barony of Rocafort de Queralt was established. It has a parish church dedicated to Sant Salvador (18th century), built on top of a previous church. The castle, from the 12th century, was completely rebuilt in 1964. Two portals of the wall that protected the town are also preserved.

Medieval bridge (12th century) with four eyes that crosses the channel of the Francolí river. Throughout its history it has undergone numerous reforms due to floods.

Municipality of the province of Tarragona, in the region of Conca de Barberà. The origin of the town is in the castle that Ponç de Cervera built on top of a nearby mountain in the 11th century. In the middle of the 13th century, the castle became dependent on the monastery of Poblet and the Templars, and in the lower part the encomienda of the Espluga de Francolí was established, under the jurisdiction of the hospital order. In the year 1312, the year of the extinction of the Order of the Temple, the Espluga de Francolí acquires the full señorío. Among the cultural heritage stands out the old hospital of the Order of San Juan, which currently houses the Mosén Ramón Muntanyola library, the Museo de la Vida Rural, the modernist cooperative winery Celler Cooperatiu, the work of Pere Domènech i Roura, or the Fassina Balanyà, former alcohol factory, today converted into one of the twenty-five industrial museums of the System of the National Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia.

Nice and well-preserved church within the walled city. It has a spectacular entrance, well preserved. Inside it is more austere, but there are impressive stained glass windows. You can go up to the bell tower. It is worth paying €1 to enter.

The castle, mentioned as early as 1005, was the center of a lordship and, centuries later, became a manor house. Only the cemetery and some sloping walls remind us that it was once a slender fortification.

Monastery founded in 1150, when the church, the monks' refectory, the Sant Esteve chapel, the infirmary and part of the cloister were built. During the 13th century, the rest of the buildings in the complex were completed, with everything the monks needed for their lives here: chapter house, bedroom, cloister, kitchen, the scriptorium, the hospital for the poor and pilgrims, and the chapel of Santa Caterina. In later centuries the dome and the walls, the pantheon and the other royal constructions were added.
