Camping Cal Paradís

If you’d like to get out for a hike in the hills, start by having a word with the site staff – who've collated a collection of routes starting directly from the site and who can advise on one that suits your style and fitness level. Mountain bikers are similarly well provided with trails, including those heading to the towers of Fals Castle or to the peaks of the Serra de Castelltallat range. More sedately, there’s fab fishing in the Cardener river, 15 minutes' drive away. Or you could take the 10-minute drive to the Houses of Matamargó, a house museum that shows how rural lives have changed since the 16th century, or the hour’s journey to the Zoo of the Pyrenees to watch bird of prey displays, feed lambs and see local wildlife including ferrets and wild boar Other days out nearby include Montserrat, 45 minutes away, to visit the Benedictine monastery, and Cardona, for tours of the medieval castle and the former salt mines just outside town.
