Chestnut season and local traditions
October and November bring one of Catalonia’s most beloved traditions: La Castanyada. During this season, towns fill with the aroma of roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes. Bakeries also sell the traditional panellets, delicious marzipan sweets with pine nuts or almonds. Take advantage of your stay at Alas Hotel to enjoy this local tradition and savour the authentic taste of autumn.
Rural escapes and charming villages
Beyond the coast, the inland area of the Costa Dorada hides villages full of history and charm. We recommend visiting:
- Prades: known as the “Red Village” for the colour of its stone, surrounded by mountains.
- Siurana: a natural viewpoint over the cliffs of Priorat, where every sunset looks like a painting.
- Montblanc: with its medieval walls and cobbled streets, it’s a perfect postcard of autumn.
All less than an hour from Alas Hotel, ideal for a one-day getaway among landscapes and traditions. Discover more in our Costa Dorada travel and news section.
