Inland Montsià: old olive trees, rock art and tradition
Frontier and memory
A fortress in a former frontier territory between the Christian and Muslim worlds, with Iberian origins and Templar extensions. The visit continues through the historic centre and the remains of the old medieval Jewish quarter.
Living roots of the territory
The largest known concentration of thousand-year-old olive trees in the world (about 400 trees), with a tasting of thousand-year-old oil.
Footprints of prehistory
Visit to the Rock Art Interpretation Centre «Abrics de l'Ermita» and the rock paintings of the Ermita de la Pietat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998, to discover one of the great prehistoric testimonies of the territory.
Nature between water and woods
A tour of the river Sénia and its natural surroundings, among forests and monumental trees such as the Faig Pare (Father Beech) and the Pi Gros (Big Pine), with some of the most distinctive landscapes of the inland Montsià.
A tradition woven by hand
Visit to the Museu de la Pauma (Palm Museum) in Mas de Barberans, devoted to the craft of working plant fibres, and continue to the Camp d'Aviació de la Sénia (la Sénia airfield), a place tied to the memory of the Civil War.
The entire route on the map
The Montsià can also be discovered through the palate. Taste the extra virgin olive oil of the Thousand-year-old Olive Trees and the oils covered by the Baix Ebre-Montsià PDO, enjoy a cuisine recognised with Michelin stars and complete the experience with flavours deeply rooted in the territory, such as pastissets and clementines from the Terres de l'Ebre
