Holiday cottages in la Galera

The history of Galera begins in the 14th century when, thanks to the ravine that bears the town's name, a dividing line of defense was established that separated Galera from Tortosa. With the construction of the Torre de la Galera, a point of defense was established that controlled the passage of the bridge that crossed the ravine.

Being a municipality with more than seven hundred years of history, La Galera has an abundant historical heritage , as you can see if you visit the center of the town. It also maintains its cultural traditions such as pottery. Likewise, we recommend their oil cooperatives, which still use ancestral methods of extraction.

The pottery tradition is still maintained in La Galera, as can be seen every year with the celebration of the Terrisseria fair, where numerous artisans from the town and its surroundings gather. In the Terrisseria Cortiella you can see pieces made entirely by hand and cooked in a wood-fired oven.

In the Galera you will find modernist buildings such as Casa de la Vila . A building from the beginning of the 20th century that houses the Museu de la Terracota on its ground floor. Another prominent building is its parish church. It dates from the early 18th century and combines defensive elements such as battlements with other ecclesiastical elements such as the bell tower. From its terrace it is currently a viewpoint from which you will have panoramic views of the entire esplanade.

Oil is one of the typical products of Galera. The oil cooperatives are a good opportunity to taste a high quality oil. For its preparation, they use olives from the same crops in the village and completely artisanal production processes.
