The comarca (local district) has eighteen villages spread across a vast plain which, thanks to the water from the Canals d\u2019Urgell, have seen their lives changed considerably. In this land of infinite horizons, and sunsets over fruit orchards, the inhabitants have developed a character all of their own. Those living here know the effort needed to bring in a successful harvest and, as they live in a local district that is a crossroads to everywhere else, they also understand the importance of welcoming newcomers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629975809590{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629975819882{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;6\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text] The journey The people of this comarca adore their area and this is most evident when they celebrate their local festivals.

The padrins (older citizens) have handed down to younger generations an awareness of how important it is to take care of the land and its livestock. On St Anthony\u2019s Day, in Linyola, visitors will be invited to experience, at first-hand, just how cherished farm animals are here. This is made evident during the Festa dels Tres Tombs (Three Circuits), which ends with a breakfast of pork ribs. Tourists will find themselves laughing along with the new friends that they will make very quickly and easily in this comarca. Sharing food is often the best way to cement a friendship and it is here that the people of the comarca get to proudly show exhibit the Cassola de Tros (Rural Casserole). This is a heritage dish, which was originally born out of necessity, and one whose recipe has been handed down from generation to generation by the padrins. It typically contains rabbit, snails and spinach, although the essence of the whole comarca can be found in its recipe. Each household also has its own secret ingredient or special way of preparing it. This taste of El Pla will whet the palates of visitors, filling them with emotion and making them feel part of El Pla d\u2019Urgell.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;6\/12&#8243;][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629982614640{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;9\/12&#8243; css=&#8221;.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;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1633433368506{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;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;impresc&#8221;]Tres Tombs de Linyola per Sant Antoni.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/12&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629982622928{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;111082&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630051376648{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;foto-patr&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629982614640{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;9\/12&#8243; css=&#8221;.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;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1633433379261{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:"}
