The Village

Barberà de la Conca, with narrow, hilly streets dotted with shady squares and overlooked by a Templar's castle dating from the 12th century, is set on a hill with views over vineyards with the Conca de Barberà denomination of origin.The village was under the protection of the Knights Templar (read more) until the order was dissolved in 1312, at which point the Temple was granted to the Knights Hospitaller. The village also has an impressive neo-Classical church with some Romanesque features and is home to the oldest wine cooperative (read more) in Catalonia (founded in 1894), whose building was designed by the architect Cesar Martinell, famous for his Modernist-style bodegas.

Where are we?

 
 The Area

The climate in the region is Mediterranean-Continental, with hot, dry days and cool nights in summer. The area is ideal for walking and cycling, with a multitude of dirt tracks and paths running between vines and olive trees.With a bit of luck you will also spot some of the local fauna (partridges, rabbits, foxes, boars, etc.). Barberà is within easy reach of the itinerary known as the Ruta del Cister, linking up the three monasteries of Poblet, Santes Creus and Vallbona de les Monges. Another interesting local place to visit outside Barbera is the old quarter of Montblanc, 10 minutes away. Reus, 15 minutes away, is a good place to do some shopping. The ancient Roman city of Tarragona, 30 minutes away, has a well-preserved old quarter and monuments. And should you want some thrills, Port Aventura and the famous beach resorts of Salou and Cambrils are just 40 minutos away. Other, more tranquil beaches are also within easy reach (around 30-60 minutes away by car).
