Viaduct Over the Matarranya River

Highlight • Bridge

The Matarranya river is what gives name to the region you are in, officially called Matarraña/Matarranya. The Tortosian variant of Catalan is mainly spoken in this region.

Railway Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

It is mandatory to use lights inside the tunnel. Not only to see the way, but also to be seen. It's exciting to think that these structures were built for train use only.

Abandoned Valldeltormo Station

Highlight • Historical Site

There is a 300 meter tunnel very close to the station in the direction of Torre del Compte. It is completely dark and you need lights to cross it.

Abandoned Valljunquera Railway Station

Highlight • Monument

The station is in a spectacular location and relatively well preserved. Very easy access from the N-420 at the junction to go to Valljunquera. Ideal for walking along the greenway or for cycling along the route.

Mas de Frare

Highlight • Historical Site

Mas semi-abandoned (there are traces of having been renovated) but seems abandoned.

Beautiful views towards La Fresneda and the whole of the Ports mountain range, as indicated in the panoramic table.
