What to see and do in Mont-ral

Mont-ral
Village
Mont-ral is a mountain municipality in Alt Camp, in the province of Tarragona, which together with la Riba occupies the southern slope of the Muntanyes de Prades, at an average altitude of 888 metres, between the Puig Pelat (1,075 m) and the valley of the river Glorieta (375 m). It has 174 inhabitants (INE 2025) and until 1842 was called Mont real in Spanish. In the mid-12th century it passed to the Counts of Barcelona and later to the county of Prades; almost entirely depopulated in the mid-20th century, when mountain farming and cattle raising could no longer sustain it, it now lives from tourism and second homes. It preserves the church of Sant Pere, Romanesque and remodelled in the 18th century, and at Farena, a settlement of the municipality, a small 12th-century Romanesque church dedicated to Saint Andrew.
Mountains of Prades (Alt Camp Slope)
Nature
The Muntanyes de Prades belong to the Pre-Coastal Range and stretch across five Catalan comarcas, among them Alt Camp, where they cover the municipalities of Mont-ral and la Riba. The massif covers about 30,726 hectares spread over 22 municipalities and reaches its highest point at the Tossal de la Baltasana, 1,203 metres high. It is formed mainly of limestone, dolomite, slate and conglomerate, and five rivers rise from its slopes: the Francolí, the Brugent, the Glorieta, the Siurana and the Prades. The vegetation combines holm oak, kermes oak and oak woods, with a colony of Pyrenean oak unique in Catalonia at 900 metres on siliceous ground, in addition to the centuries-old forest of Poblet; the fauna includes the polecat, the roe deer and the black woodpecker.
Mont-ral Main Festival
Activity
The Festa Major of Mont-ral is celebrated from 21 to 24 August, in a town whose parish is dedicated to Sant Pere ad Vincula; the settlement of Farena, within the same municipality, celebrates its own around 2 September.
