La Fatarella

This village is situated on a hill, 486 metres above sea level, in the Terra Alta area of Tarragona. It is widely thought that the first inhabitants were Muslims. Indeed, the name "Fatarella" could originate from the Arabic "fatorella", meaning "little tower". However, there are also indications that the first people to populate this area were, in fact, the Ibers, back in the 10th century.

 
Just one of the many little cobbled streets.

Just one of the many arches.

La font de Sant Juan.

It is a very interesting village full of arches, cobbled streets and little corners and alleyways which are touched only by the midday sun.
