Cabra del Camp: vineyards and harvest festivals in the Alt Camp

In the north of the Alt Camp, where the plain of Tarragona begins to rise towards the hills, the village of Cabra del Camp gathers its houses along steep, narrow streets around the parish church, at the meeting of several streams. A farming community of around 1,300 people, it keeps its rural soul close to the surface.

A village of the land

Vines, cereals, almonds and hazelnuts shape both the landscape and the calendar here. Cabra is proud enough of its agricultural roots to devote three festivals to them, the feasts of Sowing, Reaping and Threshing, which recreate the old rhythms of the farming year with traditional tools, food and music.

Around the village

The municipality scatters into several hamlets, among them Fontscaldetes and Miralcamp, across a quiet landscape of dryland fields edged with woods. It makes a peaceful base close to some of Catalonia's highlights: the city of Valls, cradle of the human-tower tradition of the castells and home of the winter calcotada onion feast, lies just to the south, and the great Cistercian monastery of Santes Creus is within easy reach.

Getting there

Cabra del Camp is a short drive north of Valls and around thirty kilometres inland from Tarragona, with good links by road and motorway.
