What to see in Cabanes
Visiting Cabanes is a brilliant idea whether you’re into history, the seaside or simply being surrounded by nature—and, let’s be honest, it offers a bit of everything! A great place to start your itinerary is with a stroll around the old walled enclosure of Cabanes.
Here, the streets twist and turn, a legacy of its medieval origins, and you’ll come across notable buildings such as the town hall, the former prison and the well-known arcade, also known as the llotgeta del mustaçaf. It’s also worth popping into the Parish Church of Saint John the Baptist, an elegant 18th-century Baroque church that adds real personality to the historic centre.
As you wander around, you’ll notice how the old town walls have gradually been absorbed into the houses over time, although several ancient gateways are still standing, including the Sitjar Gate, the San José Gate and even a few surviving machicolated towers.
Make sure you don’t miss the Ermita del Calvario, reached by a pleasant uphill walk that rewards you with lovely views from the top. Not far away lie the remains of the Folquera windmill, and a little further on you’ll find the Roman Arch of Cabanes, a reminder that the ancient Via Augusta once passed right through the town.
In the surrounding area, the castles of Albalat—complete with its fortified hermitage—and Miravet are well worth a visit. Over in the Les Santes area, you’ll also find the Hermitage of Saint Agatha and Saint Lucy. They’re perfect destinations for a scenic hiking route if you fancy stretching your legs.
As you head closer to the coast, you’ll start to spot old watchtowers such as Carmelet, La Sal, El Carmen and dels Gats, all keeping watch over the shoreline that borders the Prat de Cabanes–Torreblanca Natural Park. This protected wetland, prized for its outstanding environmental value, is a real hidden gem—and a fantastic spot for birdwatching.
To round things off, take time to enjoy Cabanes’ beaches and truly switch off in places like Torre de la Sal beach, fringed by traditional fishermen’s houses that seem frozen in time. It’s the perfect excuse to escape the everyday, and get to know this wonderful corner of the coast a little better.
