Stone, silence and landscape
Stroll through the medieval alleys of Horta de Sant Joan and approach the Convent of Sant Salvador, at the foot of Santa Bàrbara, a landscape that Picasso immortalised.
Renaissance at the foot of Els Ports
Stroll through the historic centre of Arnes, dominated by its Renaissance town hall, and enjoy the viewpoints open to Els Ports and the farmland of the Terra Alta.
A wine cathedral
Discover one of Cèsar Martinell's great works and end the visit with a tasting of DO Terra Alta wines, with garnatxa blanca as the star.
Memory among ruins
Walk through the ruins of the Old Village, a symbol of the Battle of the Ebro, and complete the visit with the 115 Dies Interpretation Centre to understand the human and historical scale of the conflict.
The entire route on the map
The Terra Alta is savoured among vineyards and olive groves: wines of the DO Terra Alta, with garnatxa blanca as the emblematic variety, Terra Alta PDO extra virgin olive oil and an inland cuisine where the clotxa keeps all the flavour of tradition.
