The Catalan Pre-Coastal Range (Catalan: Serralada Prelitoral Catalana) is a system of mountain ranges running parallel to the Mediterranean Sea coast in Catalonia. It is part of the Catalan Mediterranean System. Its main axis runs between the Catalan Transversal Range and the Serra de l'Espina, which connects with the Ports de Tortosa-Beseit, part of the Iberian System. The highest point is 1,706.7 m at the Montseny Massif.




Mountain ranges


From North to South:

Les Guilleries
Montseny Massif
Sant Llorenç de Munt
Montserrat
Serra de Queralt, Bellprat
Picorandan
Serra de Prades
Montsant
Serra de Llaberia
Tivissa-Vandellòs Mountains. Towards the southern end of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range, there are certain coastal mountain ranges like los Dedalts, Moles del Taix, and Serra de la Mar which —lacking a traditional geographical name as a group— have been recently named as the 'Tivissa-Vandellòs Mountains' (Muntanyes de Tivissa-Vandellòs). These are included in the Pre-Coastal Range owing to the geological continuity with that range despite their direct seaside location in the Coll de Balaguer area.
Massís de Cardó
Serra de la Vall de la Torre
Serra de Cavalls
Serra de Pàndols
Serra del Montsià. A limestone range located by the coast south of the Ebre river.
