The Route of the Oil
The itinerary starts at Juneda, where one can walk through the ancient part of the town, between the narrow streets that together form a monumental set.
Following the way between the fruit plantations, one gets to the Thematic Park of the Oil, an interesting museum considered one of the best of Spain, and located in the "Masía Salat". Olive trees of more than 2500 years old welcome the visitors.
The next locality is Les Borges Blanques, known as the "world capital of the oil". In les Borges Blanques, la Plaza Mayor and el Paseo del Terrall are interesting places, where one can find an oil press of big dimensions.
Next, there is La Floresta; then we continue few kilometres to the small town of Els Omellons, and then until we arrive to La Espluga Calba, finishing in the town of Fulleda. From Fulleda we have two choices: one can stay at Tarrés, or continue up to the town of Vinaixa, where it is highly recommended to visit the Romanesque church of Sant Joan Evangelista, declared Artistic and Historical Monument.

This is remembered every year on the last weekend of the year, in "Els Firals de Bellvís".
