Magical moments experienced in Montblanc 🐉✨ Forget the famous snow-capped mountain we all know—this is Catalonia's hidden gem, a perfectly preserved 14th-century walled fortress. It’s also home to the romantic legend of Sant Jordi (Saint George), who famously slayed a dragon to rescue a princess. As luck would have it, I caught a traditional Catalan festival, the "Parade of Giants," right in the town square! It was truly a sight to behold as the Gegants (massive figures of a king and queen) and the Capgrossos (comical big-headed characters) danced alongside the locals 🎉🎺 Just strolling through the quaint cobblestone alleys under the warm spring sun felt like traveling centuries back in time. If you're planning a trip to Barcelona, make sure to add Montblanc to your itinerary for a taste of vibrant traditional festivals and true medieval romance! 👇

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Tarragona (Region) The remains of the Château de Montblanc are a fascinating place to visit, observe and relive its past, with more than 1,500 meters of walls, towers and grand residences from a bygone era, which have been preserved through restoration. This remains true to this day. It is not just a castle, but also a viewing point. You can also see the wall that surrounds the city, which is still intact.

Montblanc is a town located about 1 hour drive south from Barcelona, near the city of Tarragona in Catalonia region, Spain.

This part of the town is surround by a wall that had the goal of protecting the inhabitants of Montblanc in the ancient times. You can enjoy this destination any time of the year, but certainly autumn or spring are ideal season to visit because the weather is nice and the colors in the forests on the surrounding mountains make it even more beautiful. Specially recommended, during the month of April when the village recreates the tale of Sant Jordi, a knife who slayed a dragon to save the princess from being devoured 🐉 #fallingseason
