A legendary castle and a reservoir
Siurana works well with a family if you mix village and water: the story of the Moorish queen in the morning and kayaking in the afternoon.

Cliff, medieval paths and two dog-friendly places
In Siurana the dog walks with you through the village and along the paths that climb and descend the cliff, always on a lead. The climb from Cornudella is the quietest; the Camí de la Trona, only if the dog is used to the mountains. For sleeping, the campsite and La Siuranella accept dogs, each with its own rate.

Tips
Worth knowing first
- 1Save the sunset
The church and the crag turn red as the sun goes down. The summer visit with sweet wine starts at 19:00.
- 2Go down to the water in the afternoon
The kayak hire on the reservoir is open from 10:00 to 19:00 in season.
- 3Respect the climbers
Below the village there are climbing routes: don't throw stones or go near the edge above the walls.
Local tip
Combine: morning in the village and the Camí de la Trona, lunch in Siurana or Cornudella and afternoon kayaking on the reservoir.
Driving up in a motorhome
You can't park at the top. Leave it at the campsite or in Cornudella and go up by car or on foot along the old path.
Where do I park?
You drive up by the Cornudella road, paved since 1993, to the entrance of the village. There are car parks P1, P2 and P3, paid all year round: €3. Motorhomes can't go up: they park at Càmping Siurana or at the football pitch in Cornudella de Montsant.
From Tarragona it is about 55 minutes by car, from Lleida a little under an hour and a half and from Barcelona about 2 hours. From Girona, 3 hours: not a day trip.
How much time do I need?
The village can be seen in an hour: the ruined castle, the Romanesque church of Santa Maria and the edge of the crag at the Salt de la Reina Mora. With the Camí de la Trona or a morning on the reservoir, it is a full day. On spring Sundays and public holidays, arrive before ten: the car park fills up.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does parking cost in Siurana?
€3 in the car parks at the entrance, all year round.
What is the Salt de la Reina Mora?
According to legend, Queen Abdelazia leapt into the void with her white horse rather than surrender to the Christians; the hoofprint is said to remain in the rock. Siurana was the last Andalusi stronghold in Catalonia, conquered in 1153.
Can I climb without experience?
Not on the Siurana walls, which add up to more than 800 routes, most of them at seventh grade. To start, look for a qualified guide.
Can I go with children?
Yes, to the village and the reservoir. The Camí de la Trona has very exposed ledge sections: with children, take care, or better not.
Can I swim in the reservoir?
There is a swimming area beside the kayak hire and pools upriver, such as the Toll de la Palla, 30 minutes' walk from the village.
Where is the tourist office?
In Cornudella de Montsant, on Carrer Comte de Rius; telephone 977 821 000.
