Description

Wikipedia

Serra del Montsià (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈsɛrə ðəl munsiˈa]) is a 14.5 km long mountain range in Catalonia. It gives its name to the Montsià, the southernmost comarca (county) of Catalonia. Its highest point is 764 m high La Torreta. The Serra del Montsià stretches in a NE - SW direction and lies south of the Ebre river, its northern limit. Relatively high and located right by the Mediterranean coastline, it is an important landmark in the region. Its southern limit is marked by the Sénia River. The silhouette of the mountain range looks like a dragon, especially seen from Santa Bàrbara town. There are many remains of Iberian villages in some hills of this range. The small settlement of La Selleta was built by Germans on a hill below the Serra del Montsià in the last half of the 20th century.
