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.

The municipality has two villages:

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