SPAIN ~ Siurana - Catalonia ~

... Amazing view of a tiny picturesque historical village high in the mountains (I had to look very closely to find it😉) ... a village of officially 30 inhabitiants... perched at the top of a small cliff in Cornudella de Montsant with a stunning 360 view of the surrounding Prades mountains located in the heart of Catalonia... next to the endless rocks and cliffs you can find in this tale village many medieval houses, villas out of stones, cobblestones and narrow streets everywhere...  this amazing mountain of legends and cliffs is also well-known around the world by enthusiasts of rock climbing... with more than 1700 well protected sport climbing routes... Thanks a lot Josep&Assumpta! (✿ ♥‿♥)

Siurana is a village of the municipality of the Cornudella de Montsant in the comarca of Priorat, Tarragona andis situated in the catalan province called "Tarragona".

Prades Mountains, also known as Muntanyes de Prades, is a large calcareous mountain massif with many smaller subranges. These mountains have characteristic large and rounded rocky outcrops, the main peak is Tossal de la Baltasana (1203 m). They are mostly heavily forested with oak and pine trees, and the non-native chestnut tree has adapted to the local forests.
