MAS ROSICH is a typical Catalan farmhouse, over 200 years old , converted into a restaurant in 1985 and more recently into 2 lovely rural apartments that are perfect for experiencing a country villa, family holiday in Tarragona, Spain.

The farmhouse is situated on the outskirts of the ancient village of Alcover with fabulous views over the countryside which can be enjoyed from the gardens and terraces during the day or on those warm summer evenings.

The village is only 20 mins. from the coast yet in the heart of the countryside at the foot of the Prades mountains where you and your family will be able to experience a typical Catalonian, bargain, family holiday.The area is renowned for its wine, cava (champagne), hazelnuts, almonds and olives. The village itself dates back to 1166 and boasts the ruins of a Roman church, fortified walls, Renaissance style houses, a museum and is also justifiably proud of its local beauty spots such as the Hermita del Remei (18th century chapel) and stunning waterfalls at the Font de la Glorieta. All of this will enrich your Spanish, rural country holiday experience.

The Cistercian Monastery route passes by the village – 3 glorious, inhabited, Cistercian Monasteries at Poblet (15 mins.), Santes Creus (20 mins.) and Vallbona de les Monges only ½ hour from the restaurant. Valls, the capital of the Alt Camp area and king of the Calçotada (the famous roasted onion/leek dish) is only 5 mins. drive away.

There are a variety of local restaurants in the village, serving menu of the day or full a la carte. There are bars and terraces, a disco (La Piscina) open at week-ends and our own late-night terrace bar (Els Angle-

sus) is open downstairs on Friday and Saturday nights. Children are welcome in all places enabling you all to enjoy a typical, Spanish bargain family holiday together.

The village also has several banks, a public swimming pool open from June to September, a railway station connecting directly with Reus, Tarragona and Barcelona, super-markets and various other shops.
