Getaways

We propose you to put yourself in the shoes of the old gold seekers of the Segre river and discover the history of this activity and, at the same time, enter the millenary city of Balaguer. Do you want to find gold? Join us!

MUSEUM OF LA NOGUERA

We will visit one of the most important museums in inland Catalonia, where the Andalusian history of the city and the importance of Hisn Balagi’s medina and the goldsmith extraction of the Segre are told. Gold and fertile plain lands played a decisive role in the growth of the city.

GOLD INTERPRETATION CENTRE

Walking through the historic center of Balaguer we will arrive at the Gold Interpretation Center, where we will know the secrets of the search for gold and we will learn to separate the straws from the sand.

SEARCHING FOR GOLD IN THE SEGRE RIVER

Now yes! It is time to try your luck: properly equipped and trained, we will enter the river in search of gold. You have to be patient, but surely in the end you will find the precious metal and you will take it home!

TASTING OF THE FLAVOURS OF THE SECÀ

Wine and oil are two of the star products of La Noguera. Throughout the itinerary we propose you to taste the oil of the local producers and the wine of the DO Costers del Segre.  

ANDALUSIAN LUNCH

You cannot leave without savoring an authentic Andalusian meal inspired by the old medieval recipes. We anticipate that gold is one of its ingredients! Then, we suggest you visit the origins of all this: in the upper part of the city we find the remains of the old Muslim city.
