Holiday cottages Alguaire

Alguaire occupies the land of an ancient Ilergeta town that developed an important role in the fight against the Romans and when the Romans won, it became an auxiliary bastion of the Popeans opposing Caesar, during the Battle of the Segre.

In 1250, it housed a convent of Saint John's ladies , which welcomed Hospitallers from Cervera and daughters of good Catalan families. The nuns left the convent during the Reaper War.

If you are in Alguaire, visit the Sacred Heart , at the top of La Penya, where you will find the remains of the old convent of the hospital nuns and the sculpture of the Sacred Heart , which contemplates the growth of the town, since 1966.

Another gem of Alguaire is the Hermitage of the Virgin of Merlí , from the 11th century and Visigoth style, which includes the image of the Virgin that had been worshiped in the old hospital monastery of the town.

In order to check the textile past of Alguaire, we encourage you to visit Mata de Pinyana , an old textile colony, inhabited until the seventies, on the banks of the canal of the same name.

And, of course, enjoy one of the localities with notable archaeological sites such as the Roques de So Roig Necropolis ; funerary structures excavated in the same rock built during the High Middle Ages (7th - 9th centuries).

What you must experience in Alguaire is the Fira de la Figa , which is held biennially and represents one of the economic drivers of the town.
You can also visit the Lleida-Alguaire airport , built in 2010 to become the connection axis with the Pyrenees.

And if all that isn't enough for you, know that Alguaire is surrounded by garden paths for both walking and cycling. The two signposted routes, offered by the Town Hall, are shared with Almenar; One is the Riu route , along the edge of the Noguera Ribagorçana and the other is the Clot de la Unilla route, which goes along the side of the N-230 road.
