WILDLIFE OBSERVATIONS
In Pallars there is a variety of exceptional flora and fauna due to the variety of climate and soil. The great profusion of habitats and microclimates has made Pallars an ideal place for the evolution of plants that, in many cases, have become endemic. Among the most significant species of the fauna of Pallars, the bearded vulture stands out, Gypaetus barbatus, which is the only bird in the world that eats bones (osteophagus).
BORDER CASTLES
Get to know the border castles. In its quality as a border land in the Middle Ages, Pallars Jussà retains a large military architectural heritage, with twenty defense towers or castles, such as those of Mur and Llordà.
ROMANESQUE CHURCHES
Pallars is truly Roman territory. From those times, apart from castles, there are also churches that were erected wherever there was an outcrop of resistance, such as Verge de la Cinta church in Llimiana and Santa Maria in Covet, with its impressive sculpted gate. In the neighboring county of Alta Ribagorça, only half an hour away from our rural house, it lie the Romanesque of the Boí Valley.
MUSEUMS
Many museums in Pallars explain and interpret the local culture, history and landscapes.
HOLIDAYS AND TRADITIONS
The people of Pallars have always maintained their ties with the land. This translates into a desire to modernise the holidays, festivals and traditions that form their history to carry them forward into the future. The holidays and traditions that you should not miss: the Diada dels Raiers (Raftsmen Celebration), A spectacular event in which a torch is carried down from the mountains (La Pobla de Segur on 17 June) and the remembrance day at Salàs Fair, and takes place in November.
TRADITIONAL TASTES
Pallarés cuisine is rooted in its tradition and that tradition is based on produce from the land. There are certain foods you can only try here, such as girella, a sausage with more than 500 years of history, or all i oli de codony (quince aioli), in which this autumnal fruit is used to make a typical mountain sauce that is spread on toast or used to enrich a range of dishes.
THE HIGHEST WINES IN CATALONIA
The fruit of the land is also used to make liqueurs, a longstanding tradition which began when the county was a distinguished liquor exporter. And Pallars has, of course, been a winegrowing area for centuries, producing vines in the high basins with their Mediterranean climate and strong temperature contrasts that give the local wine its character and quality. Many of the wines are part of the Costers del Segre Designation of Origin label.
