Travelling in time is always an interesting idea: letting your imagination carry you away and putting on those glasses whose filter tints everything with the flavour of the age, to enter a time that the setting today still fits perfectly. That is just what we can do in Montblanc, in the interior of the Costa Daurada, a medieval town like few others, where all this essence is preserved and restored. Let yourself be carried away by this magic and visit the walls that protected the town from enemy attacks, stroll through the historic centre and daydream about the visit of the dragon and the knight Saint George, just as Joan Amades set the legend within the walls of Montblanc.
For all this, you have guided tours, audio guides and mobile apps with excellent explanations of the various options, including the night route to the towers of the fortifications, the walk along the wall and the wall-walk, or the whole monumental and artistic ensemble, all accompanied by a refreshment or a tasting of local, zero-kilometre produce.
Montblanc offers a magnificent setting for visitors all year round, especially in April, with the Setmana Medieval de la Llegenda de Sant Jordi (Medieval Week of the Legend of Saint George) and its tournaments and exhibitions; and in October, with Clickània, the Playmobil clicks festival. Let yourself be won over by everything Montblanc is: monuments, festivals and traditions, museums, gastronomy, wine tourism, and also nature and landscape. All within reach!
Among it all, the Conca de Barberà has several nearby municipalities that have well earned a visit. In the Templar castle of Barberà de la Conca you can walk through the stone halls and rediscover the traces of the Templars and Hospitallers. In Conesa, the unique medieval ensemble was declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest, and Santa Coloma de Queralt also has monumental heritage that you can explore on the visits 'Santa Coloma de Queralt al segle XIX' (Santa Coloma de Queralt in the 19th century) and 'Visita monumental amb cançons cantades en llengües medievals' (Monumental visit with songs sung in medieval languages). Solivella is another municipality with an old, historic centre that invites you to wander, and don't forget to visit the Racó del Càntir to learn all the secrets of keeping water nice and cool.
Legends, Templars, monuments and experiences that will take us back to the medieval past of the Costa Daurada. You can't miss it!
