Discover La Masó: Holiday Apartments, Culture and Agriculture

Cal Benet is considered to be of national historical interest.

Culture

Cal Benet is considered the oldest house in la Masó; the archway is particularly striking. In the present-day centre of la Masó, the seat of the Templar commandery of Rourell is identified—not in Rourell.

The old Molí de la Selva mill preserves well-maintained medieval cellars underground and belonged to the Templars.

Santa Magdalena is a Neo-Romanesque parish church from the end of the 19th century (1890). Its floor plan is in the shape of a Latin cross with three naves and an octagonal crossing vaulted by a dome. Santa Magdalena is the only temple in the comarca with a Byzantine dome.

The bell tower, separate from Santa Magdalena, was built around 1817 and belonged to an earlier building. The Festa Major d'Estiu de La Masó includes a mass as well as recreational and cultural events for all age groups.

Those wishing to organise information about architecture, festive traditions and historical context can consider these cultural topics separately and then compare them with the agricultural or hiking-related information.

Agriculture

La Masó has a strong agricultural character and is closely associated with hazelnut cultivation. Thousands of calçots are grown in la Masó; the town is one of the main producing areas of the IGP Calçot de Valls.

The Francolí forms a large part of the eastern boundary of la Masó. Approximately three quarters of la Masó's agricultural land is irrigated, mainly with water from the Francolí.

When planning your trip, you can weigh the information about production, landscape and water separately.

Planning

When planning a holiday apartment in La Masó, compare the travel dates, room category and cancellation policies on the respective offer pages. This information stands alongside the local focuses of culture, agriculture and hiking and forms a separate, objective basis for comparison. In La Masó, these three levels can deliberately be kept separate: the cultural information describes historical and sacred points of reference, agriculture refers to the local use of land and water, and the PR C-1 represents an independent route. Those combining several interests can initially consider the accommodation question according to their preferred focus and then compare the specific information on room category, travel dates and cancellation policies.

Road connections and the hiking route can be listed side by side as different types of information when planning: the roads identify connections, while the PR C-1 indicates a route.

A bridge over the Francolí carries the road connecting la Masó with the N-240. A local road connects la Masó with the Tarragona–Valls national road (N-240) and, via El Rourell, with the Vilallonga del Camp–Valls local road. The PR C-1 hiking trail runs from Vallmoll via la Masó to El Rourell.
