La Musara, Mountain ghost town in Vilaplana, Spain.
Located at 990 meters above sea level, La Musara presents stone ruins and abandoned structures at the top of limestone mountains near Tarragona.
The first written record of La Musara appears in a concordat between King Alfonso I of Aragon and Archbishop Guillem de Torroja in 1173.
The name Musara originates from Arabic terminology, referring to places designated for marches or leases during the Saracen occupation period.
Access to La Musara requires following road T-704 from Reus through L'Aleixar to Vilaplana, then taking the path toward Arbolí.
The village experienced complete abandonment between 1950 and 1960 after a phylloxera insect infestation destroyed the local vineyard economy.
