The Ruins of San Vicente de Almenara are located in the municipality of Agramunt. This historic site is known for its remains of an ancient Romanesque church dating back to the 11th century. The ruins are located in a picturesque natural setting, ideal for hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts.

The Pilar de Almenara is a medieval defensive tower located at the top of the Sierra de Almenara, near Agramunt, in the Urgell region of Catalonia. This tower, dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, is 14 meters high and offers stunning panoramic views of the Urgell plain. The tower was used for surveillance and defense against Saracen raids and is similar to other Christian defensive towers in the region. From the top, on clear days, you can see as far as the Seu Vella de Lleida.

Trip carried out on October 13, 2024 as part of the FEEC excursion monitor training. The route has a distance of approximately 7.5 km (although I marked the track a little more because of the stops and detours to take some photos). It takes around 4 hours to complete due to multiple stops to change guides, discover plates and animal remains. Without so many stops you can easily do it in 3 hours. The route does not have any technical difficulties, although there are two or three steps that require the assistance of the guide in case the person does not have good flexibility. The vegetation is dominated by oaks and pines, white in the sunny areas and red in the shady ones. There are many bushes typical of the Mediterranean climate, such as rosemary, boxwood or steppe. Poplar and some willow can be found near the reservoir water. The reserve is particularly known for its birdlife. It hosts species such as the barred eagle, the common vulture, the great cormorant that use the area as a resting and nesting point. You can also find mammals such as wild boars and foxes, as well as reptiles typical of the Mediterranean area.

There are different ways to climb but they are the best views of the region

With magnificent views of Camarasa and the Segre River, at this point we will find the Cova del Tabac, a monumental cave where we will find ancient cave paintings damaged by acts of vandalism. The cave was formed by karst phenomena, meaning that water infiltrated through the stone over millions of years. As a curiosity, we know that the name Cova del Tabac comes from the powder that centuries ago was extracted from it to mix with tobacco.
