Holiday cottages Aspa

There are two episodes that mark the history of Aspa. On the one hand, the Middle Ages , when, after the reconquest, the town was given to the bishop and chapter of Lleida. The other is the construction in 1881 of the Town Hall and the town square , in which all the inhabitants participated in exchange for a tax remission.

Undoubtedly, the old town awaits you, where you will discover beautiful medieval houses , which preserve many architectural elements of the time. In the center of the historic district you will find the church of Sant Julià , a baroque building that for many years guarded an altarpiece of Sant Julià, original from the s. XVIII, until it was transferred to the Diocesan Museum of Lleida.

Another gem that you can't miss in Aspa are the remains of the castle-palace , built by the bishops of Lleida in the Middle Ages and which preserves original architectural elements. Finally, you might like a walk to the hermitage of Sant Sebastià, where you can admire a beautiful vaulted portal.

The surroundings of Aspa invite you to stroll through the olive fields while you discover various dry stone constructions. We suggest an excursion that leaves the town in a south-west direction and skirts the river Set until you reach the Roca del Diable , a large stone next to the river, which legend says is marked by the hand of the devil, who he had to stop falling on top of her. On this route, you will enjoy very good views of the Protected Natural Area of Mas de Melons.

In Aspa, there is a hundred-year-old oak , cataloged among the century-old trees of Segrià, and which is located in the Bassabona section. And not far away, located on a hill next to the LV-7021 road from Aspa to Cogul, there are the medieval silos , holes dug in the ground, most of them round in shape, which were used to store the grain that was cultivated in the area. Most of the silos date from the s. XVII.

Don't forget to try the traditional dishes of the local cuisine, such as the cassola de tros or the orelletes and the garrapinjade almonds , sweets that will not leave you indifferent.
