A nation that has resisted industrialization
We are in the Dry Plain of the Camp de Tarragona. A privileged setting in one of the few villages that retains its charm away from estates. Nothing allows us to enjoy a quiet day, a leisurely pace of life and in contact with nature.
The upland plain of Alt Camp is home
Our territory is part of the Alt Camp Dry Plain. La Plana de Secà is located in the center of the region between the rivers Francolí and Gaià. It partially includes 14 municipalities of the Alt Camp (Aiguamúrcia, Alió, Bràfim, Cabra del Camp, Pla de Santa Maria, Pont d'Armentera, Figuerola del Camp, Montferri, Nulles, Puigpelat, Vallmoll, Valls, Vila- round and Vilabella.
But this is not the only great plain in Catalonia, we can find them all over the territory. In the Empordà, Lleida and La Selva, as well as the Delta de l’Ebre, mostly dedicated to irrigated crops or forest plantations. On the other hand, in the case of the Central Coast Plan, urbanized land dominates most of the spaces. So only the plains of the Penedès, the Galera and the Tarragona they still include significant extensions of rainfed crops. The valorisation of dryland plains has so far been deficient in terms of landscape and biodiversity. However, in Catalonia they are currently considered among the habitats with the highest regression.
