Some lovely views from the house, top one is from our bedroom window, looking out towards the local vine yards and the villages of Horta St Joan and Bott.
The bottom is from our kitchen window looking towards Puig Cavaller, (mountain) the highest point at 709m ASL, the top of which supports the mast for mobile telephones and Internet for us and the local area.
There is also a lovely walk up the mountain close by and half way up is a small pool under rocks with a shrine, the views from the top are breath taking.
The area around us is very picturesque with pine forests and mountains and many wild flowers and herbs, the wildlife is amazing, with eagles and falcons often seen .
In the forests there are wild boar and lynx and although their tracks have been seen I have never encountered either.
We are very close to the Terra Alta Cycle route (Green Way), one of which goes from Gandesa through Bott to Horta San Joan.
