Ginestar: Holiday apartments between the Ebro riverbank and culture

Ginestar brings culture and landscape into focus with concrete points of reference. The Església Vella de Ginestar is a notable historic building in which three architectural styles are combined as a result of later alterations. On the Ebro riverbank in Ginestar, the Embarcador de Ginestar has a viewpoint and a picnic area.

Culture

The Església Vella de Ginestar contains a white alabaster cross of Saint John, set into the jasper frame of the sacristy door. The Ermita de Sant Isidre in Ginestar was built in the 16th century. The Iberian settlement Poblat ibèric del Barranc de Gàfols, also known as „El Pomeralet“, is a 600-square-metre archaeological site dating from the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age; excavated structures have been dated to the 6th century BC.

The Diada de l’Ermita in Ginestar includes a communal lunch at the Ermita de Sant Isidre. You can distinguish between architectural history, archaeology and community tradition without placing these topics in a fixed order.

Landscape

The peaks of Punta dels Caus, Coll del Ventall, Mola de la Llacuna and la Tossa lie in the area around Ginestar. You can consider the landscape topics independently of one another and give them different weight in your planning; the different names provide clearly distinguishable points of reference for this.

Food and drink
