Lleida
Located in inland Catalonia in the fertile Segre plain, Lleida is one of Spain's oldest cities. Lleida is an authentic Catalan inland city dominated by the imposing La Seu Vella, a Romanesque-Gothic cathedral on a hilltop that ranks among Spain's finest disused church buildings. The Castillo de Gardeny, a former Knights Templar fortress on a neighbouring hill, affords a spectacular view over the fertile plain of the Segre. As a vibrant university city with rich gastronomy and little mass tourism, Lleida offers a genuine, unspoiled Catalan experience.
