Family excursion - Poblet and La Roca de l'Abella

 Hello everyone,

  Last week we went on a little excursion, to a nearby picnic area called "La Roca de l'Abella", just a few kilometres away from Poblet, and near Riudabella. 

 It is a beautiful place, although due to the hot and dry weather, we were not able to see much water around, so we will be back in the autumn for more!!

 It is a short walk ( less than 1 km) which makes it easy to do with little children. Both our boys loved picking up LEAVES (FULLES), BRANCHES (BRANQUES), STONES (PEDRES), BLACKBERRIES (MORES), MOSS (MOLSA) and FLOWERS (FLORS). We will show you next week the activity we have planned to do with all this. It will be our MOUNTAIN JAR.

Here you have some pics 

 The reason we chose this excursion was because two years ago I discovered a great newsletter/web/blog managed by a family and for families. It has this wonderful newsletter, with all kind of useful and interesting ideas and suggestions about what to do and see with children in our local area, Tarragona province. It is called EXPLORA TARRAGONA and it has also been publishing some fantastic books full of excursions, not only in the Tarragona area, but also in other areas such as the Ebre and central Catalonia. Please visit and subscribe, they have info in Catalan, Spanish and English, and regular updates.
