La Morera de Montsant is a village in the province of Tarragona and autonomous community of Catalonia, Spain.

Geography

It is located in the mountainous wine-producing region of the Serra de Montsant thus named because there were many hermits living in the range in early Medieval times.[3]

The municipality has two villages:

  • La Morera de Montsant, the main population centre
  • Escaladei, located by the Cartoixa d'Escaladei, a Carthusian Order monastery.[4]
