Muntanyes de Tivissa-Vandellòs, Protected mountain range in Tarragona Province, Spain.

The Tivissa-Vandellòs Mountains span 13,947 hectares with limestone cliffs and reach their highest point at Molló Puntaire, measuring 728 meters above sea level.

The mountain range formed in a shallow, warm sea during the Jurassic period over 200 million years ago, preserving mollusk and crustacean fossils.

The abandoned villages of Castelló, Masdevalentí, Fatxes, and Gavadà display settlement patterns from the Middle Ages until the 1960s.

The area contains numerous marked trails and stone paths that connect different villages while providing access to agricultural lands and natural formations.

The limestone composition creates natural water features called 'cocons', which are natural pools formed by the dissolution of rock through rainfall.
