My tip“The centre only opens at weekends; the village is beautiful in itself. Combine it with Beceite and the Parrizal gorge.”
A stone village in the Els Ports mountains, of which Picasso said, “Everything I know I learned in Horta”, where he spent months as a young man. The rocky Santa Bàrbara mountain overlooks it, and pine forests surround it.
What to see
The Centre Picasso (copies of his paintings of the village) · the main square and its arcaded houses · the monastery of “Sant Salvador” on the road · the Santa Bàrbara mountain · the Els Ports nature reserve and its trails
Easy to reach, needs a car
