A small village with much to discover<\/div><\/div>

Visit Vilanova de la Sal<\/h2><\/div>

Our village is small but full of history and charm<\/strong>. Its origins lie in the old nucleus of Priv\u00e0, founded in the 12th century. Today, you can still visit the remains of the Church of Santa Margarida de Priv\u00e0<\/strong>, including its main nave and part of the old spiral staircase of the bell tower. <\/p>\n

Walking through the village center, you\u2019ll discover the Romanesque Church of Santa Maria de Vilanova<\/strong>, where for many years the remains of the Counts of Urgell were kept. We also recommend visiting the remains of the Chapel of Sant Miquel<\/strong>. You can explore these sites on your own or join one of the guided tours organized by the La Foradada Cultural Association:

A natural and historical treasure of the village<\/div><\/div>

The salt flats of Vilanova<\/h2><\/div>

Did you know that our village has \u201cde la Sal\u201d in its name<\/strong> because of the natural salt flats we have? These salt flats were commercially exploited from the Middle Ages until 1989, and today they shine again as a tourist attraction<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

You can take a guided tour<\/strong> to learn how salt is formed, how it was extracted, and even taste <\/strong>the local fleur de sel. An ideal experience<\/strong> for both adults and children, connecting you with the natural and historical heritage of the area. <\/p>\n

The \u201cbeach\u201d of Vilanova<\/h2><\/div>

Just 10 minutes by car<\/strong>, you\u2019ll find one of the most refreshing spots in the area: the beach of the Camarasa reservoir<\/strong>. This peaceful area, surrounded by nature, resembles a beach ideal for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying tranquility. <\/p>\n

Just follow the LV-9045 road to the reservoir and, just before arriving, take a gravel path on the right. The final stretch is done on foot or by bike. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hike with stunning views over La Noguera<\/div><\/div>

Montalegre Hermitage<\/h2><\/div>

From the door of the apartments, you can start a route to the Montalegre Hermitage<\/strong>, located on top of the Montroig range. It\u2019s about a 50-minute walk<\/strong> with steep climbs, but the effort is well worth it: from the top you\u2019ll have spectacular views of Vilanova, the Balaguer plain, and the Camarasa reservoir. <\/p>\n

Also known as the Noguera viewpoint<\/strong>, this is one of the most beautiful places in the area. If you want more details about the route, visit: naturalocal.net<\/a><\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Spectacular route with nature and Romanesque heritage<\/div><\/div>

The Balconet of Santa Linya and Sant Pere de Queralt<\/h2><\/div>

Another must-do hike! From the village of Santa Linya (10 minutes from Cal Ribero), you can take a 4.5 km route to the Balconet<\/strong>, a spectacular natural viewpoint hanging over the Montsec valley. <\/p>\n

If you feel like continuing, you can go on to the Romanesque hermitage of Sant Pere de Queralt, located on a rocky spur. This route is of high difficulty<\/strong>, but the arrival is impressive. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
