SALOU

The first time you attend a rally it is fascinating to see how long queues of amateurs look for the best curve to see the cars skid past. Go with a sandwich in one hand and the chair in the other, the camera or video hanging on the neck, the cap on the head to protect from the sun and a smile from ear to ear. The Catalunya-Costa Daurada  Rally awakes the adrenalin rush of thousands of people each year and if you have not lived it, you will be stuck when you see the first car pass by.

"Idleness is the enemy of the soul," said the forerunner of the Cistercian order. The Cistercian Route, a tour of the artistic, cultural and natural heritage of the three districts of Tarragona (Alt Camp, Conca de Barberà and Urgell) challenges - and in what way! - this monastic precept. You can do it on foot in 5 days or by bike in two and a half days.

The counts of Barcelona and Urgell established one of the most important strengths of the Marca Hispánica- the  buffer zone beyond the former province of Septimania, created by Charlemagne

in 795 as a defensive as a defensive barrier between the Umayyad Moors of Al-Andalus and the Frankish Carolingian Empire in the current center of Barberà de la Conca. It was the in the 11th century. In the last decades of the 20th century it had survived among ruins, until in the nineties the group " Amics del Castell " launched a a campaign to restore it. The poet José Agustín Goytisolo, neighbor of the town, collaborated very especially.

At present in Barberà Castle- which was part of the order of the Templars - there are two buildings that can be visited, the old chapel and the tower. And usually there are concerts, conferences, exhibitions, wine tastings, cinema... It is an excellent excuse to visit this town often hidden from the tourist routes through Tarragona and the Costa Daurada (Golden Coast). Located on a hill of 450 meters, it offers great views of the region. The agricultural cooperative has the honor of being the heir of the first cooperative winery founded in Catalonia in 1894. You can buy tasty white, red and rosé wines of the Conca de Barberà Denomination of Origin (D.O.). In the leisure area La Marinada, on the outskirts of the village, you can eat with your family and let the children play football or basketball in the fields with free access available.

Before, if you are looking for a unique restaurant, you can go and have something to eat at La Ferreteria in Reus. It is a beautiful place with wooden furniture that used to house a nails and screws business. In 1998 the warehouse was replaced by a kitchen to be able to serve tapas and montaditos (small sandwiches) that retains the name of the typical products of a hardware store. Rice with cod, deep fried squid, patatas bravas (spicy fried potato dice)... the menu is classic and an authentic guarantee of success.

Empezó como una exposición dedicada a los más pequeños, pero se ha convertido también en una auténtica cita a enmarcar en el calendario de los coleccionistas. El Clickània de Montblanc, a la Conca de Barberà, es el festival de los clicks de Playmobil de referencia y se ha hecho más grande en cada edición.

Aquí hay ni más ni menos que 500 m2 con dioramas temáticos, que son maquetas con figuras, edificios, vehículos, animales… donde los protagonistas absolutos son los clicks. Escenas dedicadas al Antiguo Egipto, al Far West, a la época medieval, a los piratas… Los clicks nunca cambiarán la expresión de la cara, pero a ti seguro que te dejan con la boca abierta.
