In the surrounding area, in an environment marked by forests with a great variety of flora and fauna and with rivers where you can cool off in summer, you can go hiking and cycling, with routes for all levels that we will be happy to recommend to you.
Rojals, a small mountain village with just 41 inhabitants and a history that not only dates back to the Middle Ages, but goes back much further, almost to the origins of humanity. Many people find it hard to believe that a town of this size is so rich, but behind these six letters of its name lies a place of great cultural and natural wealth. In fact, it is the highest inhabited area of the Protected Natural Area of the Prades Mountains, located at 979 metres above sea level.
The charm of Rojals, precisely, lies in the conservation of its history and heritage. The town maintains its medieval essence intact, complemented by a heritage declared World Heritage by UNESCO. In its town centre, the cobbled houses stand out, and above all, the parish church of Sant Salvador, also known as the church of the Transfiguration of the Lord. Finally, we must mention the viewing point dedicated to Mossèn Armand Puig, which offers spectacular views of the Conca de Barberà and the Pyrenees on clear days.
Rojals is an excellent starting point for exploring the region on foot or by mountain bike. Hiking trails cross the cliffs and ravines surrounding the town, offering fierce and wild views described by the writer Antoni Palau i Dulcet as “millenary testimonies of geological upheavals”.
