You can't enter to Siurana by car, or in the least bit is advisable. This tiny town is particularly known due to the peaceful atmosphere and the charming streets.
We didn't find anybody in our walk from the parking to the Abbey, only we heard some children playing in their house.
Cliffs around the village are popular among climbers due to the abundance of sport climbs up to the grade of 9b The development of Siurana as one of the world's best climbing destinations is often attributed to Toni Arbones.
La Siurana is the Christian name for the town. Originally, it was known by the Latin name of La Seviriana, but was changed to Xibrana after being conquered by the Islamics. A memorial cross was erected in 1953 to commemorate the reconquest of Siurana by the Christians in 1153, 800 years before.
