P.S. We rest a week and come back on  August 12, 2009 with a new e-zine and a new weekend special, but have a look at the blog on Wednesday August 5: we will raffle new tickets to…… We give you a clue: it is one of the activities that we propose in the e-zine 34. If you have not guessed it yet, be patience, you’ll see it next Wednesday!

For the e-zine 34 we have prepared a double number. Besides the 6 usual proposals, we present you a weekend special with a route, accommodation and restaurant so that you enjoy the Baix Camp with the children.

We take you to the area of the hermitage of the Virgin of the Rock at Montroig del Camp. The eroded reddish rock where the hermitage is located is a suitable place for children let their imagination fly. They will be able to hide in the cave with the hole while you walk to the devil stairs.  And in the end you can have lunch at the Masset restaurant located on the way to the rural camping Vinyols Camp that we present you in this special, a fantastic place where the children will be able to enjoy the animals and the vegetable garden.

And our weekly proposals include some refreshing items. What about discovering one of the most beautiful stretches of the Ebre in canoe? You will go down strem from Miravet to Benifallet. In Benifallet you can recuperate strengths in Ca Treig with Manel’s paellas.

If you prefer a more cultural activity, the gymkhana of the Pau Casals Museum is a must. Every Thursday during summer you will be able to become guides to discover the life of the cellist. The touch of humor and entertainment arrives with the shows in La Pineda, offered every Friday until the 4th September.

And if you want to finish refreshing yourselves totally, do not doubt on going to the traditional collective water battle in Morell. You will enjoy of a great show where you will discover how the farmers struggled against the wood worm that loomed the hazels of the zone.

And finally, we present you, a website full of games made with recycled materials, in the link of the week. Besides of finding game ideas, you will find the instructions to construct the objects you need to play with materials you surly have at home.

Nine proposals to you enjoy summer with the children. Remember you’ll find more proposals in our advanced search. We rest a week and will be back on the 13th of August of 2009 with a new e-zine and a new weekend special.

Almost for two days we have been following the evolution of the fire in Els Ports of Tortosa and Beseit that, as you might know, has taken the life of four firefighters that struggled to stop it. From here, our condolence to the families of the deceased, our support to the injured people and the recognition of tasks of all firefighters who struggle for saving our territory.

The meteorology is not really helping out, so the authorities have opened this afternoon a fire alert in three more places of our demarcation besides Els Ports: the Mountains of Prades (Alt Camp, Conca de Barberà, Priorat and Baix Camp), Mountains of Tivissa-Vandellós (Baix Camp, Ribera D’ebre and Baix Ebre) and the Saw of the Montsant (Priorat). The access is restricted from midnight.

Therefore, you will have to wait some days to pay a visit to the hermitage of Sant Bartomeu that we have just proposed in our e-zine today. We recommend you to inform yourselves well at the tel. 012 or at the nature reserves before making an excursion to the mountain. We also want to remind you to extreme precautions and respect the environment when you go to the forest.

If you haven’t been to Parc Sama, the a musical Papanotes can be a nice excuse. It turns out that the music is in danger: the seven notes have problems working together. If they do not agree, it will be impossible to write new songs. The story takes the notes to a gray world where mysterious and eccentric characters meet and where they will learn that they need to work together to continue their way.

If you want to see the show that will be held on Saturday, August 1 at 21:30 at the Sama Park (between Cambrils and Montbrió del Camp), just leave us a comment.

As usual we will lot the entrees among the comments of the subscribers. You have time until Thursday, July 23 at midnight.

So leave us a comment if you, won’t miss this interesting way to teach the kids of the importance of working together!

At the e-zine 33 you’ll find a refreshing excursion. What about taking a boat to discover Tarragona’s harbor by night accompanied by Captain Apodaca hand and learn more about the history of the place?

If you like to travel in time, make sure you land in Tortosa. You’ll be able to revive the Renaissance with the residents of the city this weekend.

For those who prefer to test their physical condition, we present an itinerary that has it all: mountains, river, forest, panoramic views, a chapel and a picnic area with a restaurant and a shelter at the hermitage of Sant Antonio. We are talking about the path to the chapel of Sant Bartomeu in Ulldemolins the Montsant mountains. A promenade for the oldest ones of the family.

And for the youngest kids we have a sonar proposal. If you go to Cambrils on Saturday you can lose in a maze of giant instruments. Just let your imagination lead your hands.

If you are looking for games so the children can review maths, writing, etc., we recommend you visit the site of Educa. They have a very interesting section with review records.

And as usual, remember that you can find more family trips, accommodation to go with children, restaurants using the advanced search of ExploraTgn.cat.

Since today you can follow our route in images directly from our website. We have incorporated a new application, so that the photos that we have in Flickr can now be downloaded directly from the route in the form of slide show. This way you’ll have a better idea of what to expect.

We hope it will be an interesting instrument for you.

If you want to find a fresh and attractive place these days, for sure you will like the caves of Benifallet. You’ll find a lot of strange formations caused by dripping water that filters through the cave. A marvel of nature!

And afterwards, a pleasant tour in a typical boat of the Ebro. You’ll enjoy the views.

If you want to spend a day in Benifallet, just leave us a comment. As usual we will lot the entrees among the comments of the subscribers. You have time until Thursday, July 16 at midnight.

Go ahead and comment… you could be the one who takes his/her family to Benifallet any weekend of this summer!

This week in our e-zine 32 we present you 2 more options to escape from the hat during summer to complement swimming in the beach and the rivers. Just let you overwhelm by the strange formations originated by the drip of the water into the Dos and Wonder caves of Benifallet where the temperature does not overcome the 18ºC.

And for those who you prefer play with water, the foam party at the Nou de Gaià can be a nice idea. Remember that this village forms part of the Low Gaià castle route.

If you like the water, but at a certain distance, you’ll like the promenade to the Boyó Source in Vimbodí: a short route ideal for little children with a waterfall as a reward. Afterwards you can go to Els Torrents restaurant for lunch or enjoy of the picnic area just next to the restaurant.

And before driving a long way, you can check the Fuel website of the Spanish Ministry, where you can spare some money if you go to the pomp stations with the cheapest rate.

And if you prefer something stronger: you can enjoy of fire and beasts in Vendrell.

Six proposals you can complement with other routes, restaurants, accommodations and activities to do with kids that you will find if you use the advanced search of ExploraTgn.cat’s website.
