located in the valley of the Montsant river. From a historical point of view, it is worth highlighting the presence of hermits in the Montsant mountains, a massif that owes its name to the existence of numerous hermitages that rise around it. The best known of all was probably Fra Guerau, prior of Escaladei, who retired to the hermitage of Sant Bartomeu d'Ulldemolins to do penance. Over the centuries, his memory has been mythologized, giving rise to numerous legends. One of the most exceptional places in all of Montsant is also known by its name. There you will find historical buildings such as: the church of Sant Jaume, a Renaissance-style church from the late 16th century; the organ of the church of Sant Jaume, one of the oldest in Catalonia, built in 1637; the sanctuary of the Mare de Déu del Loreto, built at the end of the 18th century, and hermitages such as that of Sant Bartomeu, Santa Magdalena and that of Sant Antoni and Santa Bàrbara.
