Vandellòs i l'Hospitalet de l'Infant

Sea or mountains? In L'Hospitalet de l'Infant and Vall de LLors, no one should have to choose between one option or the other, because it combines both elements. Natural and quiet beaches next to the Mediterranean mountains. This is one of the great attractions of this territory.

The municipality covers an area of 102 km2 ^, spread between the coastal plain and the pre-coastal mountain range, giving one the feeling of having everything within reach and not having to give up anything.

This comprehensive experience can be enjoyed thanks to the five population centres that make up the municipality: three inland (Vandellòs, Masboquera and Masriudoms) and two on the coast (Hospitalet del Infant and Almadrava).

There are four beaches in L'Hospitalet del Infant and Vall de Llors: Arenal, Punta del Riu, Torn, a naturist beach of international renown, and Almadrava. They are all long beaches with fine sand and transparent waters.

In L'Hospitalet del Infant and Vall de Llors, the remains of uninhabited villages and farmhouses, which were abandoned in the mid-20th century, bear witness to a rural life, dedicated to the countryside, in which there were trades that have now disappeared or are in danger of extinction.

This is the case of Castelló, located under the cliff of Los Dedalts, which comes to life with the representation of the Nativity of the Stars at Christmas and with the celebration of the Rústic Festa in August.

Imagine a town where you can go hiking in the morning, crossing the mountains, and in the afternoon, go to a beach surrounded by a natural and almost unspoiled environment to take a refreshing dip? And if you still feel like stretching your legs in the evening, you can take your bike and ride along the seafront to make the most of the day.

In L'Hospitalet de l'Infant and Vall de Llors, the most abundant type of cuisine is Mediterranean, tasty, colorful and healthy, with olive oil, fish and seafood, vegetables, fruit, meat, flour and spices and condiments as its main ingredients.

Coll de Balaguer Hospital Visitor Centre

Tower Hill

This is the most significant main house in Vandellòs. This type of tower was built as a place of observation and protection against pirate attacks that threatened our coasts. It currently houses the historical archive, with space for entities, and an area for exhibitions and interpretation of the history and heritage of the town.

The most notable route that passes through the municipality is the one that goes along the Jonquet coastal path, a low-difficulty path that links the beaches of Arenal and Torn. It runs parallel to the coast and more than half of the route crosses the Rojala-Platja del Torn Natural Interest Area (PEIN), where the spectacular Torn islet is located, a rocky islet attached to the beach.
