Tips from the Community
Vallfogona de Riucorb is a municipality in the Conca de Barberà region, located near the Corb river and on the border with the Urgell region. Previously called "Vallfogona de Lorda" or "de Corbell" or "de Comalats",[1] which was historically the seat of a lordship, Templar subcommand and Templar and Hospitaller command, called Comanda de Vallfogona. It is located on the borders with Segarra, a region to which it had previously and historically always belonged, and Urgell. As a border term, administrative divisions have affected it variably since it belongs to the province of Tarragona, to the judicial district of Valls, but had been of Cervera and Montblanc; until 1957 it was of the bishopric of Vic and then passed to the archdiocese of Tarragona. In the 1980s XX became part of the Conca de Barberà region to make the regions coincide with the provincial limits of Tarragona and that of Segarra with the province of Lleida. Source: Wikipedia

town with medieval charm to reach or from which to depart on the multiple routes, around "la Vall del Corb". Climatic refuge between L'Urgell and La Segarra and from there you can connect with Conca de Barberá

Through the Camí de la Serra you reach the town of Forès, with one of the well-known classical walls. The prize is the spectacular view you'll have from above of the entire Conca de Barberà, a panorama you'll never forget.

It is the quintessential wall of the Segarra region. It's simply spectacular. It has beauty and above all toughness. It is 850 meters long with a maximum slope of 20.5%, which is at the end of the wall when you reach the town. The beauty of the wall lies in the fact that you can see the town of Forés in the background and you know that you have to climb to the top in a short space... and above all in the views from the town. Forés is one of the most beautiful places in Catalonia without a doubt. For more details, visit the website of the "Clásica dels Murs de Cervera" -- classicadelsmurs.cat

The Vallfogona de Riucorb spa was built in 1901 to take advantage of the thermal waters that spring up in the area. It is one of several spas that are spread throughout this region.

Guimerà is simply spectacular. Its historic center is built in stone, as well as its church and tower. If you get lost in its streets it is as if you get into a time machine that transports you to the Middle Ages.
