The Olive Oil Route
The production of Lleida’s olive oil – widely
considered one of the best in the world – is
concentrated in and around about thirty villages in
the rural districts of les Garrigues, l’Urgell and el Segrià.
These oils belong to the DO of les Garrigues and are logical
points along the Olive Oil Route. Les Garrigues is an austere area,
but one that has its own special charm. This is a perfect setting for a
trip to buy (healthy and delicious) olive oil and to visit some of the local
area’s points of interest, which include its museums and theme parks,
the castles of Espluga Calba and la Floresta, and the cave paintings
of el Cogul... It is particularly interesting to visit this area in autumn,
when it is possible to observe the process of olive oil production at
many of the local agricultural cooperatives.

The Valley of the Vultures
The Terreta de Tremp is a rather special place in el Pallars Jussà, which lies on
the Valley of the Vultures Route and can be reached either from Tremp or from
the road to the Val d’Aran by following a 31 km trail: Tremp-Pont d’Orrit-Torre de
Tamúrcia-Espluga de Serra-Castellet-Sapeira-Pont d’Orrit-Tremp. This is a low
difficulty route and one that can be walked throughout the year, but particularly
in spring and summer, when it is possible to see migrating birds. It is also important
to stress the variety of both the local scenery and the geology of the region. The
area also boasts a rich variety of fauna including the griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus),
the lammergeyer (Gypaetus barbatus), the Egyptian vulture (Neophron pernocpterus)
and the peregrine falcon (falcó pregrinus).
This route takes visitors to three quite unique museums in el Pallars: the Museu
de la Conca Dellà, at Isona; the Museu dels Raiers (rafters’ museum), at el Pont
de Claverol, and the Ecomuseu de les Valls d'Àneu, in Esterri d’Àneu. The Museu
de la Conca Dellà takes visitors on a journey back to the time of the dinosaurs,
offering guided visits to remains from the Cretaceous period at la Posa, where it is
possible to see the footprints left behind by these prehistoric creatures. The Museu dels
Raiers provides an insight into the now lost profession of guiding logs down rivers and
explains the process of working with the wood and shows the tools that used to be
used. The main element in the Ecomuseu de les Valls d'Àneu is Casa Gassia, which
provides an insight into what used to constitute traditional life in the mountains. Other
interesting elements forming part of the Ecomuseu include the old sawmill at Alós and
another group of historic buildings at Son. Other places that deserve a visit include
Peramea, Llagunes and the Museu de la Fusta (Wood Museum) at Àreu.

This route can be divided into four separate itineraries. The route
allows visitors to combine viewing attractive landscapes with visiting
interesting monuments and also takes them to some of the leading
wineries in western Catalonia. The first of the proposed routes
runs from Artesa de Segre to Castell del Remei, including a visit
to the cellars of Vall de Baldomar – famous for excellent white,
rosé and red wines – and to the Castell del Remei, though without
forgetting to visit Tremp too. The second route follows the valleys
of the river Corb; starting from Tàrrega and finishing in Montblanc.
Other places that must be visited on this route are Verdú, a village
with a long winemaking tradition, Vallbona de les Monges and els Omells de na
Gaia, which offers high quality white wines. The third itinerary passes through les
Garrigues, starting from Vinaixa and running as far as les Borges Blanques. As well as
fine wines, Vinaixa, l'Albi, Cervià de les Garrigues and les Borges Blanques also produce
very good quality olive oil. The final route starts from the city of Lleida and takes visitors
to Raimat and the extensive plantations of cabernet, merlot, chardonnay and pinot noir
that provide excellent quality wines for the cellars founded by Manel Raventós in 1914.

The Good Men’s Route
This Cathar route, which is popularly known as the
Good Men’s Route, is a 189 km tourist trail that runs
from the sanctuary of Queralt to the castle of Montsegur
(in France). It is a route that can be travelled by mountain
bike, on foot, or on horseback. The Good Men’s route,
which is now officially recognised as long distance footpath
GR-107, offers visitors the chance to retrace the migration
routes used by Cathar monks between the 12th and 14th centuries,
when they had to flee from the persecution of the crusaders and the
Spanish Inquisition. The itinerary allows visitors to discover medieval
villages, Romanesque churches and castles. As well as its historical
interest, the route also passes through the protected area of the Cadi-
Moixeró Natural Park. This offers visitors the possibility to contemplate
beautiful scenery and to visit villages like Gósol that are simply full of
beauty and tradition. Beyond Gósol, there is an alternative part to the
Good Men’s Route that heads towards Josa de Cadí, Tuixent, la Coma,
Sant Llorenç de Morunys, Coll de Jou, Odèn, Timoneda, Lladurs and
Solsona, before f inal ly reaching the Miracle sanctuary.

The Castle Route
One of the most interesting itineraries for those
visiting the Lands of Lleida is the Castle Route.
The castles in question are not immense
fortresses, but they are well conserved buildings
that offer visitors an insight into life in this area
during the medieval period, when this territory
was effectively the frontier between the Arab and
Christian worlds. The classic Lleida Castle Route
includes seven fortresses: Montsonís, in la Noguera;
Montclar, in l’Urgell; Florejacs, les Pallargues and Vicfred,
in la Segarra; Mur, in el Pallars Jussà; and la Floresta, in les Garrigues.
(Regular guided tours are organised, without the need for prior
booking, for both individuals and small groups. These take place on
Sundays at 11.00, 12.00 and 13:00. There are also visits on Saturdays at
17:00, 18:00 and 19:00 to the castles of Montsonis and Mur. It is also
possible to organise castle visits, by prior appointment, on any other day
of the week.) As well as the previously mentioned monuments, it is also
possible to visit, by previous arrangement with their respective village
authorities, the castles of Verdú and Ciutadella, in l’Urgell, and those of
Espluga Calba and Albi, in les Garrigues.

The Natural World Route
PATRONATO COMARCAL DE TURISMO DEL SOLSONÈS: Tel. 973 48 23 10www.elsolsonesinvita.com
This circuit invites visitors to walk around and discover
destinations with a markedly rural character, where
the farmhouses and churches that are dotted
throughout the territory form part of a landscape of
unique beautiful. Following this route, tourists first
visit Solsona, and its historic centre, and then proceed
through the narrow gorge of the river Cardener, past
the Llosa de Cavall reservoir, via the interesting
settlement of Sant Llorenç de Morunys and the village
of la Coma, to the source of the river Cardener, and then
on to Port del Comte, Coll de Jou and Cambrils, with its
salt water spring. The route then continues to the Serra
Seca vantage point, the Ribera Salada and the bridge at
Clop, before arriving back at Solsona.
The Green Route through the Vall
PATRONATO MUNICIPAL DE TURISMO DE LA VALL FOSCA Tel. 973 66 30 01 e-mail: turisme@vallfosca.netOFICINA DE TURISMO DE LA POBLA DE SEGUR Tel. 973 68 02 57
The Green Route through the Vall Fosca runs from the Estany Gento lake to the
water chamber of Capdella and is 5 km long. The route maintains the old lanes
that were used when it was constructed and passes through 4 tunnels. It is
possible to continue along the route as far as the village of Espui and also to the
neighbouring Àssua valley in el Pallars Sobirà. Access is via the L-503 highway
at Capdella, and from there it continues to the Sallente reservoir, from where a
cable railway takes visitors to Estany Gento. The cable railway is operative from
July to September. Another alternative is to go there via Espui, following the
forest track from la Collada del Triador.
The Reapers’ RouteThe Reapers’ Route, which starts at the village of Gósol is also
known as the Road to Cerdanya, as it leads to Bellver de
Cerdanya. In times past, this route was often used by reapers,
mule drivers, Catalan militias, highwaymen, musicians and
smugglers. It was also followed by the painter Pablo Ruiz Picasso
in 1906, during his stay at the village of Gósol. This historical
route, which is now signposted, crosses the Serra de Cadí (Cadi
ridge) and can be walked in seven or eight hours. Along the journey,
travellers can discover a number of unique landscapes and also see some
of the Pyrenean fauna in the Cadi-Moixeró Natural Park. In winter, it is possible to
follow the same route using skis or snowshoes. It is also possible to do the Reapers’
Route over two days, as it is possible to spend a night at the Cèsar August Torras
mountain refuge and then continue the route the following day.

CONSEJO COMARCAL DEL ALT URGELL: Tel. 973 35 31 12 - www.ccau.net
The main objective of this ethnographically interesting route
that runs through the district of l’Alt Urgell is to make visitors
aware of the different ways of life, customs and types of
socioeconomic activity that have had an important influence
on this region in previous times. The route has been organised
around a series of interesting sites and thematic museums.
One of these is the Museu de la Vinya i el Vi (Vine and Wine
Museum) in Pont de Bar, which makes visitors aware of the
region’s thousand year wine making tradition. The Museu de la
Llana (Wool Museum) at Arsèguel shows how a fulling mill used
to work in the 17th century. In Calbinyà, the Museu del Pagès,
introduces visitors to the traditional lifestyle of a smallholder with
a house in the mountains. At Coll de Nargó, it is possible to visit the
Museu dels Raiers (river rafters) and to learn about this traditional
occupation. At the old La Trobada flour mill, in Montferrer, visitors
can learn about the process for making flour. Other interesting
and indeed unique places to visit in l’Alt Urgell that will remind
visitors of past professions include the old Pou de Gel
(ice well) at Oliana and the Museu de les Trementinaires
(Turpentine Museum) at Tuixent. At the latter, visitors
can discover numerous herbal remedies and
learn more about this fascinating craft.
The Water Route
The Water Route - Port de Vielha
begins at the former hospital in Vielha,
at the mouth of the south side of the
tunnel and ends, 15.8 km later, in the capital
of the Val d’Arán. Along the route, hikers can discover
some of Aran’s least known landscapes and contemplate
the sight of fir, oak and beech forests, as well as enjoying
exceptional views from the Port de Vielha and discovering
why the route is called as it is. The water that surges from
the mountains is constantly present throughout the majority of
the itinerary. It is also possible to enjoy magnificent views of imposing
mountains such as el Forcanada, el Tuc de Molières and to see the
peaks of Aneto and Maladeta, amongst others. It is recommended
to take two cars when following this route: it is possible to leave
one at the beginning and the other at the end of the itinerary. It is
possible to complete the route in about 5 _ hours, with it involving
a change in altitude of 844 metres.

La rThe districts of Lleida house an important collection of cave
art which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1998.
Of the 16 different sites in Lleida province at which it is possible
to see these remains, it is necessary to highlight the Roca dels
Moros, near Cogul, which is one of the most important sites in
Catalonia. This collection of naturalistic art forms, which dates from
the end of the Palaeolithic period, was discovered in 1908. It consists
of 42 human and animal figures grouped in hunting scenes and also
includes a further 250 engravings. Another site worthy of special mention
is the Cova dels Vilassos (or Cova dels Vilars), which is to be found in the
gorge of the same name, near the village of Os de Balaguer. This Bronze Age
site houses 29 schematic figures. Other collections of cave art that are open to
visitors include: la Vall de la Coma and les Roques Guàrdies, in les Garrigues;
Aparets I, II, III and IV, Antona I, II and III, the Cova del Tabac and the Cova del
Cogulló, in la Noguera, and the Roc Rumbau or Roca dels Moros, in l’Alt Urgell.

One of the most spectacular monument itineraries in the city of Lleida is the one that
invites visitors to discover its most emblematic treasures: The Seu Vella (old cathedral)
and the Palau de la Paeria (City Hall). The latter, which is one of the most important
Romanesque style examples of civil architecture in Catalonia and the seat of the
Ajuntament de Lleida (Lleida City Council), houses historic remains dating from the 5th
century BC to the 18th century CE, including the Arxiu Municipal (Municipal Archive)
and the Saló del Retaule (Hall of the Altarpiece). The Plaça Sant Joan (Saint John’s
Square), which is an important meeting point for local people, is presided over by the
Neo-Gothic style church of the same name and there is an interesting conjugation of
traditional atmosphere and modern urbanism. The Seu Vella, which is the city’s best
vantage point and is surrounded by the longest perimeter wall in Europe, also houses
the ancient Moorish fort, called La Suda. The Seu Vella cathedral is a magnificent
Romanesque-Gothic architectural complex consisting of a temple, cloister and steeple.
