Terra Alta Greenway (Tarragona) Terra Alta Greenway Terra Alta is a rural area of Cataluña dotted with almond and pine groves through which a few trains used to run up until 1973. Now we can make use of the disused rail bed of this forgotten railway to travel through the spectacular countryside around the Sierra de Pandols ridge and the Beceite heights. A journey through tunnels and over viaducts takes us from Aragon to the Ebro. TECHNICAL DATA CONDITIONED GREENWAY Spectacular viaducts and tunnels between the ravines of the Canaletas river.

It is recommended to use a torch DESCRIPTION Km. 0 / Km. 13 / Km. 17,5 / Km. 23,7 Km 0 The Greenway begins at the Arnes-Lledó station alongside the river Algars which at this point forms the border between the autonomous communities of Aragon and Cataluña. The buildings of what used to be the station are on the Catalan side of the river. The abandoned station is barely one kilometre from the village of Lledó while Arnes is some 8 km away. From here we take a track running parallel to the railway line which leads to a recreational area where you can go for a swim if the weather is right. Five kilometres and one tunnel after leaving the station, a broad bend signals our arrival at the former Horta de Sant Joan railway station (Km 5). If we look in the direction of the railway line, straight ahead of us is the Cerro de la Ermita (or Cerro de Santa Bárbara), a hill topped by a hermitage. A little later we pass through the second tunnel on our route. On leaving the tunnel we come face to face with an imposing landscape characterized by huge mountains covered with almond and pine groves. Straight ahead a spectacular craggy rock called the Muela d'en Canar rears up before us. From here the Greenway runs alongside the river Canaletes until the end of the route. A succession of tunnels and viaducts punctuate the remaining kilometres. Among the most picturesque viaducts is the one at Km 8.5 which spans the Barranc del Molí del Cap ravine, and another at Km 10 which crosses high over the pine trees concealing the water course at the bottom of the Barranc de la Balloca ravine. Their elegant arches put us in mind of Roman aqueducts and the ancient Roman capital of the province, Tarraco, which is not so far away. Km 13 When the hermitage of Sant Josep comes into view, we know we have arrived at Bot. The village, which is close by the station, is a good place to stock up on provisions, especially water, as until we get to La Fontcalda (Km 19) there is no other source of drinking water. The Greenway continues through cuttings, viaducts, and tunnels before passing under the Muela d'en Canar crag. The last tunnel in this section, which is 739m long and curved, is the longest one on the entire route. Km 17,5 At the far end of this long tunnel are what remains of Prat de Comte station, which is about 4 km away from the village from which it takes its name, along a steep but quiet road. At Km 18.5 our Greenway crosses the track leading to the Santuario de La Fontcalda. It should be noted that physically impaired people may find the steep slopes leading up to the sanctuary difficult to cope with. Apart from being a charming spot and a place of rest and repose, in summer and on some weekends La Fontcalda is also a place where Greenway users can stock up with water and provisions. One of the most spectacular spots in this area is Els Estrets de Dalts, where the river Canaletes squeezes between high crags. A path hewn into the rock enables visitors to reach the bottom of the gorge and swim in the river. This area also boasts a magnificent railway viaduct across the Arroyo de Fontcalda stream. This stretch of Greenway to El Pinell de Brai station doubles up as the PR-C-98 Terra Alta hiking route. We pass over more viaducts and through more tunnels until we reach Km 20 and the tunnel which caused the railway to be closed when there was a major cave-in, right in the middle of the tunnel. Here we make a detour using a not too hilly path that goes around the tunnel. Km 23,7 Finally we reach the platforms of Pinell de Brai station. As in the case of Prat station before, the town of Pinell is some 6 kms away over mountain roads. Here is where the Terra Alta Greenway ends, but it need not be the end of our journey since it is possible to continue along the Baix Ebre Greenway for a further 26 km towards the Ebro and Tortosa, emulating the journey of the “Sarmentero” (The Vine Cutter) train. MAPS PROFILE RAILWAY HISTORY The Val de Zafán railway was a railway project that was never completed. The first attempts to build a railway from the port at San Carlos de la Rápita to La Puebla de Híjar in Teruel date back to 1863. The thinking behind the creation of this railway is unusual and worth mentioning. The military thinkers of the day believed that an attack could come from beyond the Pyrenees. Under this scenario, once over the Pyrenees, the next natural line of defence would be the River Ebro. For this reason it was strategically important to have a railway running along the southern bank of the river to move supplies and troops in the event of having to defend this new position. Thus the military were totally in favour of this railway project. However, the actual birth of the project was long and laborious, and official starting dates were continually scheduled and then missed. In 1891, the Compañía del Ferrocarril del Val de Zafán started the relevant earthworks, and a year later, in 1895, the first 32 km section between La Puebla de Híjar and Alcañiz was opened. For decades trains used to turn around at the latter station. The line did not reach Tortosa until 1942, and from the outset it was operated by Renfe. Sadly it needed a Civil War to get this section built - the railway played a major logistical role during the Battle of the Ebro. Indeed many of the workers who completed the final phase of the railway construction work were Republican prisoners of war. Known locally as the “Sarmentero” (The Vine Cutter) because it passed through vineyards, the railway had a sleepy existence during its short life of scarcely 31 years. In all this time the final section, between Tortosa and Sant Carles de la Rápita, was never finished, in spite of the fact that all the earthworks had been completed. On September 19, 1973, a cave-in in a tunnel between Pinell de Brai and Prat del Comte stations provided the perfect excuse to close the line down definitively, despite a number of subsequent attempts to get it reopened.

Two territories of similar extension and with historical coincidences in their development have been selected: the Okanagan Valley, Canada, and the region of Somontano, Spain. Methodologically, an analysis of the content on Twitter has been performed, collecting 1377 tweets. The conclusion is that wineries create sentimental and experiential links with the users, avoiding commercial communications. Specifically, Okanagan wineries establish a relevant conversation network on Twitter based on the high percentage of responses, which is 31.3%, but this is not so in the case of Somontano, which is 12.8%. The tourist attractions most used to create a bond are the wine landscape and the gastronomy in the case of both territories. The tourism sustainability variable remains a minor matter in the emission of messages on Twitter. Keywords: social network analysis; sustainable tourism; web 2.0; enotourism; Twitter; Somontano wines; Okanagan Valley wines; wines of British Columbia 1.

In recent years, we have seen fundamental changes take place in this field, which have now been multiplied MUNICIPAL WASTE and accelerated. Catalonia is fully immersed in these changes: INDUSTRIAL WASTE — Significant progress has been made in reducing the impact of waste generation on the environment and human health. The challenge for the future is to continue this progress, especially as concerns the amount of untreated waste that is still CONSTRUCTION AND being disposed of. DEMOLITION WASTE — There are two main challenges to be addressed: reducing levels of waste generation and aligning waste management goals with those of a circular economy. Clearly, waste minimisation and management can significantly contribute to the efficient use of resources, which is one of the central pillars of a circular economy. — Selective collection must be promoted and improved. There can not be a circular economy without good selective collection. — Small and medium-sized cities tend to perform better than national capitals, so there needs to be a greater focus on larger cities. — The role of citizens is key and local authorities have the closest contact with them.

Aquest treball analitza alguns casos de transformació popular per homofonia, amb especial atenció als noms de lloc que deriven de l’existència d’aigua (al-cuyún) i que sovint vas ser confosos amb “lleons” i en proposa un de nou –Lió– al Pla de l’Estany. Paraules clau: romandalusismes, toponímia, homofonia Abstract It is a well-known fact that with the substitution of Romance languages for Arabic many Andalusi place names were given a new interpretation and, accordingly, a new shape through folk etymology, relative homophony being one of the most salient factors governing the process. The present paper gathers and analyses some instances of such homophonic reinterpretations and also suggests a similar origin for the Catalan place name Lió (Pla de l’Estany, Banyoles), which, just like some other -lleó and -lió toponyms, might derive from the Arabic al-cuyūn ‘the springs’. Key Words: Andalusi Arabic, place names, homophony * Unless otherwise specified, the English translation of texts and quotations is by PangurBàn Ltd.

  • Móra D'ebre Castillo De Móra
    432 / MÓRA D’EBRE MÓRA D’EBRE La villa de Móra d’Ebre, cabeza municipal y capital de la comarca de la Ribera d’Ebre, se asienta en el margen derecho del río Ebro, en el lugar de la cubeta o depresión de Móra. Dista 60 km de la capital provincial, Tarragona, que se recorren a través de la T-11 y la N-420 que conduce hasta Gandesa. Limita al Norte con Ascó, al Este con Móra la Nova, al Sur con Tivissa, Benissanet y Corbera d’Ebre, y al Oeste con la Fatarella. La singularidad geográfica del lugar, en la llanura fluvial del Ebro, favoreció la existencia de asentamientos estables desde época ibérica. En este sentido, los restos localizados en torno al calvario, en las proximidades del castillo, son suficientes para suponer la existencia de unoppidum, ocupado como mínimo hasta la segunda mitad del siglo II o el siglo I a.C. Por otro lado, los vestigios de la villa romana de Els Emportells, situada cerca del río, en el camino de Les Sénies, indican la presencia de un asentamiento de época romana. Las referencias históricas acerca de la villa de Móra son escasas y remontan al siglo XII. Tras la reconquista, en el año 1153 Arbert de Castellvell tomó posesión de la villa, situada en los lími- tes del marquesado de Siurana. Años más tarde, en 1174, el rey Alfonso II el Casto y Guillem de Castellvell, firmaron un acuerdo en virtud del cualIldefonsus, Dei gracia rex Aragonensis, comes Barchi- nonensis et marchio Provincie entregaba a este último el castrum de Móra, junto con el castillo de Tivissa y las fortalezas de Garcia y Marçà.
