On this vantagepoint, which stands above the central depression, the people of La Segarra have built a comarca (local district) bursting with personality. The dignified character of those who work this land, and who have such a strong sense of community and belonging, has been handed down to them by their parents and by their parents’ parents, and still remains clearly evident. This is a territory of fields of wheat waving in the wind and bathed by a sun whose light stretches out towards a vast horizon.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1629975809590{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1629975819882{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”6/12″][vc_column_text] The journey The capital of the comarca offers visitors an ample choice of festivities that are significant indicators of the character of the local population. Only a strong, determined community would dare welcome its visitors with a staged representation like that of the Passió de Cervera (Cervera’s Annual Passion Play). The work involved in preparing and staging this play has forged strong bonds that have brought the local capital even closer to its surrounding villages and hamlets. Indeed, this sense of a shared struggle permeates any journey through La Segarra. The Passion of Cervera is a magnificent, and very dramatic, portrayal of the Passion of Christ and was first documented back in 1477. This magical and moving piece of medieval mystery theatre seduces audiences in both the church of Santa Maria, with the Passió Medieval (Medieval Passion), and at the Gran Teatre de la Passió with the Passió de Cervera. In February, during the Festa del Santíssim Misteri (Festival of the Holy Mystery), the people of Cervera come together once more and will delight visitors with their presentation of the church cantata known as Les Completes de Cervera. This work, which dates from the 19th century, is a splendid piece of liturgical music and occupies a very special place in the lives of the people of Cervera. The festival of Sant Magí, when water is handed out to the households of the capital, completes a trilogy of celebrations that are at the very heart of life in Cervera.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”6/12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1635338115676{margin-bottom: 14px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”] Not to be missed [/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1630054455050{margin-top: 4px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”9/12″ css=”.vc_custom_1629982630107{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1635338129017{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 3px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 8px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 8px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}” el_class=”impresc”]La Passió de Cervera.

In the homes of every villager, myths and legends continue to be passed down from generation to generation. At Florejacs, they tell the story of the lady of the castle, who was so dazzlingly beautiful that she attracted many suitors. They say that she gave each of them a magic flower that turned them into another flower that she then planted in her garden. According to local legend, this explains how the village got its name and it is said that people now wait for the lady to reappear and to walk around the castle walls once more. At Ivorra, the old people tell a story that took place in the year 1010 and which concerns a local priest who was celebrating mass at the church of Santa Maria when, during the Eucharist ritual, he began to doubt the presence of Jesus Christ. Then, all of a sudden, the Eucharist wine turned to blood and spilled over the altar napkins.
