Only one restaurant (closed during the week) and one bar, aptly named "L'unic" (the only one)

A monastery founded in the 12th century by French Carthusian monks from Provence, it was the first of its kind on the Iberian Peninsula. The monks chose a unique site for its construction, located at the foot of the Montsant massif, where a shepherd had dreamed of angels ascending to heaven on a ladder leaning against a large pine tree; hence the name Escaladei – "Ladder of God." The Charterhouse existed until 1835 and experienced periods of great splendor. For seven centuries, the monks cultivated the fields, built mills, and taught agricultural techniques and viticulture. The Prior, hence the name of the region, was the judge and administrator of the villages in the center of the present-day district, which roughly corresponds to the present-day Priorat wine-growing area. With the secularization of church property (expropriation) by Mendizábal (1835), the monks were forced to flee suddenly, leaving their cells, cloisters, church, and guesthouse abandoned. Within just two years, the once magnificent Charterhouse was transformed into a pile of rubble, as peasants, tired of feudal servitude, tithes, and subjugation, plundered it. The monastery ruins are open for visits: visitors are guided to the three cloisters, the church, the dining room, and a meticulously reconstructed cell. A visit to the Carthusian Monastery of Escaladei is a must for anyone interested in learning about the origins of the Priorat district. Admission to the monument includes a comprehensive virtual reality experience: "The Eyes of History" – an immersive insight that allows you to discover several key episodes of the Carthusian Monastery of Escaladei through the eyes of a Carthusian monk. This experience is rounded off with a virtual journey back to the 17th century, accompanied by Joaquim Juncosa, the architect of the church's decorations, who will give you an insight into life and art in the monastery at that time. You can also experience the audiovisual installation "The Eternal Silence" in the chapter house. The entire immersive experience is available in Catalan, Spanish, English, and French.

Magnificent passage! No major danger if you don't have vertigo!

A wonderful place, privileged and full of charm and nature, everything very clean and cared for, I recommend going to see it and chat with its pleasant hermit

The hermitage of Santa Magdalena d'Ulldemolins is also known as the Montsant cathedral for its Renaissance style. Although it was built in the 16th century, it was not until the 18th century when it was opened to worship and was equipped with an altarpiece that was destroyed in 1936.

The environment that accompanies you while doing the GR 174 is simply spectacular. The fields full of olive trees and vineyards are flanked by the incredible peaks of the Sierra del Monsant.

The hermitage was built by the Carthusian monks at the end of the 15th century. It has this name because it is surrounded by large rocks, which in Catalan are called “còdols”. Today, it is inhabited by a hermit who is in charge of its maintenance.
