THE PYRENEES OF LLEIDA & VALL D’ARAN

The great mountain chain which

unites the Mediterranean and the

Atlantic is in reality a collection of

sierras, some of them with peaks

over 200 metres high.

Of very different geological

composition, each sierra has it’s

own appearance. A central axis

exists, formed by great granite

peaks modelled by ancient glaciers,

escorted by a margin of limestone

relief of small valleys cut off between

cliff-faces.

Unlike the rest of the Pyrenees, in

the Vall d’Aran the Garona rises,

a river which reaches the Atlantic.

This orientation meant for a long

time, isolation during the long

winter months of the Pyrenees, to

the extent that this area speaks

the aranès, a language of the

Gascoigne group

Following this same distribution,

the alpine parts covered in snow for

the best part of the year, follow a

path through the woods of conifers,

beeches and birch as we descend

and in the limestone parts, the

oaks and holm oaks, these now

in� uenced by the Mediterranean.

All these mountains still conserve

ancient names, among which we

highlight Basque and Celt, but in

contrast the names of the villages

scattered around are modern, well

into the � rst millenium. Among

the rooftops of these villages and

hamlets, a Romanesque bell tower

always stands out which speaks

to us of a fundamental era for

understanding the history of the so-

called Old Catalonia.

This extensive history and the

distance has made for an important

cultural font and traditions, many

of which are still maintained and

which we can live in the � estas and

popular celebrations.

Walking through the Pyrenees

allows us to enjoy the spectacle

which can be seen from its peaks,

but also allows us to relive our

ancient history and live � rst hand

some of these thousand-year old

traditions.

THE SOUTH OF CATALONIA

New Catalonia, historically, is the land south of the river Llobregat which was for nearly 4 centuries under Arab domination, until well into the 13th century. The river Ebro, one of the main rivers of the Iberian peninsula, is a primordial element within this space, and crosses the group of coastal sierras of middling height which accompany the sea, along its whole length.

Southern Catalonia is so varied, with diverse and fascinating landscape in such a small territory, which make it unique and different to the north. Highly diverse nature reserves, stunning unknown spots, amazing cultural heritage, thousand-year old traditions, delicious locally grown and handcrafted products, warm and welcoming accommodations,...

The mountains of Prades, the Sierra of Montsant, the Sierra of Llabería, Cardó and els Ports, are also the name of the natural parks which testify to the good state of conservation and also the fragility of these areas.

They are many, the names and events which talk to us of the past and which we � nd among us. The main one,

the Ebro, with reference to the Ibers,

villages which came into contact with

the Phoenician, Greek and then Roman

voyages, but also we can � nd villages

with names of Arab peoples and of

Christians arrived from afar and who

established themselves in the south of

Catalonia.

During the 12th and 13th centuries

the military orders like the Hospitallers

and Templars defended this frontier.

Later, deforestation of the interior of

the Ebro valley in the 15th and 16th

centuries favoured the formation of

a Delta at the mouth of the Ebro and

which we � nd today. The wars of the

Spanish succession revolutionised

these mountains which argued between

Carlist and liberal parties. Finally the

Ebro became the backdrop for one of

the most cruel battles of the Spanish

civil war, or as those

who know say, the � rst

battle� eld of the Second

World War.

To get close to the

South of Catalonia a

special sensitivity is

needed, which will be

recompensed in writing,

once steeped in the

history, the landscape

and the gentility of the

people we � nd while

enjoying our excursions

GR175 - THE CISTERCIAN ROUTE

The GR 175, the Cistercian Route, forms part of the large European network of signposted footpaths and it is the only trail linking the three most outstanding Cistercian Order monasteries in Catalonia. The monasteries of Santes Creus, Poblet and Vallbona de les Monges are located in the inland regions of Alt Camp, Conca de Barberà and Urgell respectively.

The route is circular with a total of 105 km and 108 km for cyclists. There are 4 variants in the most difficult for transit riders. It is all well-signposted with the usual red and white GR blazes and waymarked posts showing additional information on each site and its height. The path is also well-conditioned with railings, handrails and steps where necessary to ensure a safe and comfortable hike.

The Cistercian Route is suitable for anyone who is used to hiking, since it does not entail anything harder than some moderate slopes

and the distance itself. You can do it in as many stages as you like, always taking into account how long you can spend on it, what you are aiming at and how � t you are.There are some striking experiences to be enjoyed along the way, such as evening prayers at Poblet accompanied by the monks’ canticles following a superb walk over the wooded hills of Prades - Paratge de Poblet; the idyllic approach to Vallbona de les Monges through the vineyards of La Conca and the � elds of L’Urgell, which complements perfectly the nuns’ contemplative Vespers; or a hike along the rugged ridge of El Cogulló and the contrasting � atlands of L’Alt Camp to

get to the impressive monastery of Santes

Creus.

There is still much to see, ably brought

alive by a multi-lingual dramatic audiovisual

installation, and English-speaking guides

who will relate the medieval legends of the

monastery. You are bound to enjoy all of

these experiences, which you will only � nd

along the Cistercian Route.

The GR 175, the Cistercian Route, is more

than just a footpath, it is the link between the

three most outstanding monasteries of the

Cistercian Order in Catalonia, a walk through

the history of its towns, the close-up to some

man-modelled lands and some pristine

natural features, the taste of an original local

cuisine, rooted as � rmly to the landscape as

the people who live and love the area. This

route is all you are willing to come across. It

is the GR 175, the Cistercian Route.

Estages:

WINE ROUTES

Between Camp de Tarragona and the lands of the Ebro, hidden behind the pre-littoral sierra at only 40 km. from the beach, we fi nd

the region of the Priorat. Touring the Priorat is to immerse

yourself in a land of character. Villages and landscapes form

an inseparable whole which captivates the visitor.

The Priorat is a land of contrasts, infused with peace,

with typical countryside of dry agriculture and a very hilly

geography which hides its’ charm in vineyards, olive groves,

verges and dry stone of the mountains.

From north to south and from east to west, under the omnipresent eye of the Sierra of Montsant, today the Natural Park, we � nd

areas of great beauty and natural interest:

the area of Siurana, the sierras of Pradell–

l’Argentera or the Sierra of Llaberia with the

majestic Mola.Very well-conserved places.

Ideal for trekking and in some cases climbing

which can be found all around the Priorat

geography.

The Consell Comarcal (regional council) of

Priorat has created a network of paths made

up of old livestock routes, rail tracks, paths

and also carriage lanes and more recent

agricultural trails. A network which permits

us to discover the region from north to south,

from east to west, linking each and every

one of our villages. Paths which in many

cases had been abandoned and engulfed by

vegetation and now recovering their original

use.

They say that the paths are the sons of

memory, which keep the secrets of history.

The paths of the wine of Priorat are the

paths where the life, work and desires of

this region travelled for centuries. They talk

of a prosperous region, converted into a

sea of vineyards, but also of the tragedy of

the � l•loxera, of the hard and difficult years

too.. They are paths which talk after a time,

of the reemergence of the hand of quality,

character and passion.

As well as reliving the past, the old paths

invite us to live a more vital present, more

immediate. This is about offering a taste, on

foot, slowly, the air which the vines breathe

from this so special land. The region gives

as a present to everyone, its paths which

grant the privilege of capturing the invisible,

intangible essence. And those who have tried

it assure us that after their return, they have

re-found this essence in every glass of wine
