Castle of Escornalbou


Escornalbou it's a castle and a monastery first referenced in 1153bc that can be found at 27KM from Salou. It was inhabitated until 1835bc when the religious order of Franciscans leave the place.

The complex includes the castle and his walls, a church, the buildings inside the castle and an hermitage on the top of the moutain that can be reached through a path across a beautiful forest.

On the top of the mountain, where you can found the hermitage, offers you awesome views of the 'Costa Dorada' (Golden coast in english) from Tarragona to Salou and Cambrils.


Coming back to Salou or Cambrils I advise you to reach the Parc Sama, a park builded a century ago by the philanthropist Marquis of Marianao, where you can see one of the best gardening examples of XIX romanic period.
