Siurana and Montsant Camping and Hostels
The Montsant region, which includes Siurana, Arboli, and Monstant, has several budget accommodation options in the town of Cornudella de Montsant or the canyon of Siurana. Large groups or advanced trip planners can find apartments on Airbnb, but people traveling in pairs can find cheaper options in a guest house or “refugi.” A refugi is like a hostel for hikers or climbers. Not all refugis are created equal: some have stoves, some don’t. Some have free showers, some don’t. Read below to find an place that fits your needs:
