Mas del Cigarrer is a rural complex consisting of three distinctive stone cottages perfectly merged with the landscape, surrounded by forests, vineyards and fruit trees. We are at the foot of the secondary road connecting the villages of Bot and Horta de Sant Joan, halfway between the two.
Accommodation
Outside the houses, every space invites you to peacefully enjoy the landscape. In summer, the natural spring at the foot of a magnificent holm oak, surrounded by pine trees, provides a shady oasis, while the swimming pool ensures a refreshing and revitalizing swim. In winter, the sunny front yard allows to enjoy the warmth of the sun. There is a small playground with swings for children and a kitchen garden which supplies the restaurant with fresh vegetables of the season.
Rural tourism facilities with accommodation in two cottages: a small house (the “MAS PETIT”) and a larger one (the “MAS NOU”). You may rent a room on bed & breakfast or half board basis (either lunch or dinner), or an entire house (the smaller “MAS PETIT”) to cater for your own meals in the fully equipped kitchen. It may accommodate 4 to 10-12 people.
Private swimming pool for clients.
Total accommodation capacity (in both houses) for 21 places.

Els Ports de Tortosa-Beseit Natural Park
Located halfway between Catalonia, Valencia and Aragon, this steep and rough limestone massif was already inhabited in prehistoric times. And yet the landscape still displays all its wildness and rich fauna. A must for mountain and trekking lovers, the park offers many possibilities in terms of tracks and walks with various levels of difficulty. We will advise you on the most suitable for your needs.
In hot summer days, we strongly recommend going for a swim in one of the rivers (Estrets, Canaletes and Algars). At sunset, if you are not too noisy you will be able to watch wild goats running around. The massif is of particular botanical, geological and faunal interest, and has an important role in European migratory flyways. [+info]
Greenway of Terra Alta
The region of Terra Alta is a wild territory south of Catalonia, sprinkled with almond and pine trees, through which a few trains circulated until 1973. That forgotten railway infrastructure takes us today through amazing views around the Pàndols mountain and Els Ports Natural Park. Biking through tunnels and across viaducts we will reach the Ebre river, in Aragon land.
The Greenway section from Horta de Sant Joan to the Ebre (in Xerta) has been considered one of the most beautiful green routes in Spain, in terms of landscape.
If you did not take your bikes with you, we can arrange for the renting. And if you don’t want to bike back all the way up, the renting shop offers a pick-up van service.
Ask us for more information. [+info]
Horta de Sant Joan
Horta de Sant Joan is a village in the region of Terra Alta set on a hill surrounded by cropland. It limits to the North with the Pesells mountain, and to the South with Els Ports Natural Park, full of natural areas of value. The Algars river marks the western boundary, while the Canaletes river flows through the eastern area, and the Estrets cuts through a rocky canyon, forming pools and drops before reaching south.

Picasso centre
The Centre Picasso d’Orta is a private non-profit entity whose main purpose is paying homage to Pablo Picasso, probably the most outstanding painter in the 20th century. It aims to show the world the strong links of Picasso with Horta de Sant Joan, where he spent some time during his youth (1897-98) and where he returned later (1909) to develop his proto-cubism style of painting. He is quoted as having said: “Everything I know, I learned in Horta”. [+info]
