El castillo de Tamarit

Despite its proximity to population-Altafulla very nice and so close that the visit there is bound-Tamarit belongs to the municipality of Tarragona. To start this route should be located at the foot of the Castle of Tamarit leaving the car in the yard behind the castle. It is reached by the AP-7 motorway, exit 45, or directly from the N-340 by following the directions in the development of the Blackberry (from Altafulla and Spain). You can also do any walking in two quarters and a half hour from the train station Altafulla, down to the beach and the road that skirts, going to the west to the castle. From the castle to follow the path, along the coast to the west, which runs through the rock cliffs have been formed. After walking a quarter of an hour reached a pine surrounded by perforated rocks. Now the road takes off, and immediately, you are one of the tracks of development, a kind of walkway on the sea, which continues for about 400 m. After 20 minutes left and follow this road straight through the forest until you reach a small cove. You pass the creek and climb back into the woods to reach the viewpoint from which already includes the inlet of Punta de la Mora. It continues through the woods for 5 more minutes to get off this beach, where the trail ends. The way back is the same as the first leg.   Landmarks Cala Tamarit Tamarit Castle The cliffs of Punta de la Mora Region: Tarragona Distance: 2.8 km Gradient Ascent: 60.0 m Gradient Descent: 60.0 m Signage: No Duration: 1 hour Topics: Nature | Culture                                            View hotels here                                       View restaurants here   Criteria for use of routes Source: Government of Catalonia.
