Vilalta Forest

Located in the heart of the Prades mountains, this space offers an exceptional taste of the biodiversity and richness of the landscape of the Mediterranean mountains of Tarragona. Under the watchful eye of the Bonelli's eagle, rivers, cliffs, forests and cultivations build a mosaic of well-preserved environments that rise above the Tarragona plains.
