To sleep

In Siurana (good without a car):

1) Siurana campsite

Owned by local Toni Arbones - offers basic camping facilities alongside more comfortable wooden chalets.
Prices range from €6 per night for camping to €30 per night for the wooden chalets, these can sleep up to 4 people.
Complimenting the camping facilities is the ‘camping bar’:

In the bar-restaurant you can find topo's, basic climbing equipment, food, drinks, climbing partners (and watch a lot of climbing videos).

2) Siurana refugio "Ciriac Bonet"  Cell 676 88 37 52, [e-mail]


It offers dormitory style accommodation, with a communal cooking area, shower and toilets.
Costing €10 a night it’s slightly more expensive than the campsite but offers a warmer, more comfortable environment and means that you do not have to bring your camping equipment.
However, it’s worth noting that unless you like late nights, you may be better off camping for a little more privacy and tranquility.

3) some climbers sleep in ... caves ... or in Can Melafot sector either on the cliff itself, bouldering up the small ledge left of the parking brings you to a space above the sector where you are partly hidden from the people below ...


4) In Cornudella de Montsant there is a refugio, with private rooms too (fair prices), cooking area, hot water, free internet, a bar serving food.
