Can Llorenç Rural Tourist Apartments

The family home, in the heart of the centre

Can Llorenç is the family’s house, where they have lived for generations, on Passatge de la Muralla, in the heart of Prades’ centre. Since 2005 it has had five tourist apartments that the family itself designed, built and runs. The walls and the Gothic arch that faces the little square are medieval, and according to village lore the house stands where the old Jewish dye works once was: that is why the little square of the apartments is called the plaça del tint (dye square). You are less than a minute from the Plaça Major and a few metres from the tourist office: with children, your own kitchen and everything on foot.

The apartments

Each one is named after a figure from Prades. Margarida de Prades, Mateu Fletxa, Melcior Font and El Nen de Prades are for four to six people; Fra Boïl, for two to four. The Margarida de Prades and the Fra Boïl, for example, are on two floors: downstairs, a fitted kitchen, dining-lounge and bathroom, and upstairs the bedrooms. The first has a bedroom with a double bed and another with bunk beds, and the sofa in the lounge opens out as a double bed; the second, a double bedroom and the same sofa bed. Bed linen and towels are included.

There is no restaurant: you shop in the village and cook at home, or go down to the square for dinner, a minute away.

Getting there

Prades is at 950 metres, an hour by car from Tarragona or Lleida along winding roads. The centre has narrow, steep streets: leave your car outside the wall and walk in. You book on its website, on 607 38 10 04 or on 607 38 10 05.

What to do nearby

Without taking the car you have the walk around the vila vermella, the Roca Foradada, 1.5 km away, and the l’Abellera hermitage. With children, the adventure park and, at night, the Parc Astronòmic.
