Thank you for your interest in visiting our mountain farm Mother’s Garden in north east Spain that has been featured twice in the popular television series No Going Back.
A great many people have been in touch from around the world, more since Martin’s book, No Going Back, Journey to Mother’s Garden, was published in Britain, South America, Holland and (in 2007) Catalonia.
We are so pleased that, finally, we have found a way people can come and stay on the farm and fully appreciate this life and the wonderful region in which we live.
Below you will find information on where the cottage La Vinya Del Pare (Father’s Vineyard) can be found, what there is to see and do in this area, what the accommodation is, letting costs and conditions, and a guide to how to find the cheapest flights.
Please read on!

 

Where are we?

The farm Mother’s Garden is in the beautiful mountains of the Priorat,
a small inland county in the south of Catalonia, south west of Tarragona, and only 40 minutes from great beaches (by rail or car) or an hour and a half from the buzz of Barcelona.

If you can find Falset on the map by following the N420 from Tarragona (famous for its Roman history) to Reus and on in to the mountains you are getting very warm!
The area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, its world-class wine and olive oil and its fascinating history, dating back to prehistoric times.
It will appeal greatly to food and wine enthusiasts, bird watchers, walkers or anyone seeking a taste of real Spain or simply seeking a holiday with a difference. Children are very welcome indeed!
We also aim to offer guided walks and tours – and a chance to learn how to prune vines, pick grapes or harvest almonds or olives if the time is right. From the beautiful almond blossom in late January to the olive harvest at the end of November, there are good reasons to visit us, and La Vinya del Pare has a large wood burner to keep it cosy when the sun goes down on winter nights!

Let us know what your interests are. We have an extensive knowledge of the area and have a great many contacts, so can guide you to the best places to eat, see, experience and explore.
