cultural interest town

Prades has been a historical site of cultural interest since February 9, 1993 and is located near the top of Prades Mountains. The red capital town is in the middle of a plateau at a height of 940 meters. Although at altitude, it's in an area of dense forest in Baix Camp in the Tarragona province, characterized by a cool summer climate, beautiful landscape, rich vegetation and crisp waters. We spent a lovely holiday there this summer.

Conocido como "La Vila Vermella", La villa roja, por el color de sus edificios de una impresionante piedra rojiza. Pero no sólo esto nos hace admirar este pueblo rural de gran altura. Ubicado a unos 900 m en plena sierra de la comarca del Baix Camp, Prades es un lugar para disfrutar de la naturaleza, de la arquitectura, de sus gentes. Las carreteras que te llevan a descubrir este pequeño tesoro escondido en plena naturaleza son de un incalculable valor ecológico. Muy conocido como destino de turismo rural en Cataluña merece la pena pasear por sus tranquilas calles que guardan tesoros por descubrir y que te sorprenden gratamente. No dejar pasar la deliciosa fuente renacentista que hace una combinación perfecta con la Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor mientras tomas un refresco o charlas animadamente en las terrazas que ocupan la Plaza Mayor.

Located about 900 m in the Sierra of Baix Camp, Prades is a place to enjoy nature, architecture, its people. The roads that lead you to discover this little gem hidden in the countryside are of incalculable ecological value. Well known as a destination for rural tourism in Catalonia worth a stroll through its quiet streets and undiscovered treasures keep you pleasantly surprised. Do not miss the delicious Renaissance fountain which makes a perfect combination with the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore while having a drink or talk animatedly on the terraces occupying the Plaza Mayor.

Prades es conocido como “vila vermella” (la villa roja), obviamente por el color de la piedra los edificios, una piedra rojiza del triásico que abunda en los alrededores. Situado en el centro de las Muntanyes de Prades, es posiblemente el pueblo más importante de todos los que forman parte de las Muntanyes de la Costa Daurada. No obstante, fue durante la Edad Media su época más fructífera gracias, en parte, a su importante mercado de ganado. La mayoría de sus elementos medievales han desaparecido, como el castillo, que apenas quedan unas ruinas; o su muralla, de la que sólo se conserva una pequeña parte. No obstante, este ambiente aún perdura entre sus pequeñas calles y plazas, siendo bastante agradable perderse por ellas. Muy bonito el Planet del Pont, que junto al de la plaza principal, son las únicas puertas de acceso que se conservan de la antigua muralla. Pero sin duda el rincón más espectacular de Prades es su plaza principal, con sus porches repletos de restaurantes, la iglesia y su fuente esférica renacentista.
Prades is known as "vila vermella" (the red villa), obviously because of the color of the stone buildings, a reddish stone of the Triassic that abounds in the surroundings. Located in the center of the Muntanyes de Prades, it is possibly the most important town of all those that are part of the Muntanyes of the Costa Daurada. However, it was during the Middle Ages its most fruitful time thanks, in part, to its important livestock market. Most of its medieval elements have disappeared, such as the castle, that there are hardly any ruins left; or its wall, of which only a small part is preserved. However, this environment still exists between its small streets and squares, being quite pleasant to get lost in them. Very nice Planet del Pont, which next to the main square, are the only access doors that are preserved from the old wall. But without a doubt the most spectacular corner of Prades is its main square, with its porches full of restaurants, the church and its Renaissance spherical fountain.

Vila Vermella

“Vila Vermella”

Excellent
Prades o la “Vila Vermella” como se la conoce por el color rojizo de sus edificios construidos con ese tipo de piedra arenisca color rojizo, que hace que sea un pueblo con un encanto especial. Se accede a la Plaza Mayor por un antiguo portal dónde se encuentra una cruz de finales del siglo XIII, la plaza es porticada, en ella se encuentra la fuente esférica, actual símbolo del pueblo, recuerda el globo terráqueo y tiene cuatro surtidores de bronce que indican los puntos cardinales, frente a ella se encuentra la iglesia de Santa María la Mayor. Queda muy poco de sus murallas y restos del antiguo castillo, Prades es pequeño pero vale la pena recorrer sus calles y admirar sus casas.
Prades Vila Vermella or as it is known by the reddish color of its buildings constructed with that kind of reddish sandstone, which makes it a town with a special charm buildings. You reach the Plaza Mayor by an ancient portal dnde is a cross of the late thirteenth century, the square is arcaded, in it the spherical source, current symbol of the village lies recalls terrqueo globe and has four suppliers bronze indicate the cardinal points, in front of it is the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Little remains of its walls and the remains of the old castle, Prades is small but worth a walk its streets and admire their homes.

Disfrutar de la naturaleza, las fiestas mayores son motivo de reencuentros con amigos y familiares, si tienes niños no dejes escapar la ocasión de que participen en la milla! Genial para pasar las mañanas buscando bolets y después visitar la plaza mayor donde en verano se disfruta de la fiesta del cava.

Mantiene parte de sus murallas y un arco que lleva a una amplia plaza porticada con una fuente renacentista.
