Hiking
Come to Siurana and discover a fairytale village that bears the memory of endless harassment and impossible conquests.
Trapped in an impregnable place on the river, the knights of four counts needed to subdue it. His castle defended an insurmountable border that stretched from the Balaguer pass to Tamarit de Gaià. Conquered in 1153, after the fall of Lleida and Tortosa, it was the last stronghold of the reconquest in Catalonia. If you look at the precipice around it, you will guess why it was not conquered for three centuries and why the end was so tragic.
