Whether you’re up for a challenging 16-kilometer trek to the peaks of La Mussara or a relaxed forest walk, the mountains surrounding Alforja are crisscrossed with trails for hikers, backpackers, and cyclists alike. Some even start right behind the backyard, with one leading all the way to the GR-7.

Only a short drive from the house, Reus and Tarragona invite you to slow down and recharge. From artisan shops and historic landmarks to engaging museums and outstanding Spanish cuisine, there’s no shortage of ways to spend the day.

Reus is especially welcoming for families, with a kids-only climbing gym called Minibloc and a charming farm and petting zoo, La Mascota i el Jardí. With beaches nearby too, there’s no shortage of activities for children.
