Mountain range of Montsià (paratge)

Nature · Godall, Montsià, Tarragona

The Montsià mountain range is a mountainous massif parallel to the Mediterranean coast, in the south of the Terres de l'Ebre, whose northern slope extends, among other municipalities, through Godall and Alcanar. It runs for about 12 kilometres between the river Ebro and the Sénia, with a rugged relief of cliffs, ridges and ravines formed some 25 million years ago during the Alpine orogeny; its highest point is the Torreta del Montsià, at 764 metres, although from Ulldecona the Mola appears taller. North of the Torreta rises the Foradada, a natural viewpoint over the Ebro delta. Owing to the singularity of its limestone relief and because it marks the southern limit of extra-Mediterranean species, the range has been included since 2000 in Catalonia's Plan of Areas of Natural Interest.
