Segrià

Segrià is an administrative region in western Catalonia comprising 38 municipalities administered from Lleida. The area spreads across diverse landscapes shaped by agriculture and rural settlements.

The region held strategic importance under Roman rule and later during medieval times when Lleida emerged as a center of learning. The city established the first university in Catalonia, known as Estudi General, which became a major seat of scholarship.

Agriculture shapes how people here celebrate and gather together throughout the year. These farming traditions are visible in local festivities that bring communities closer to their land and heritage.

The Lleida-Alguaire airport and rail connections make reaching different municipalities straightforward for travelers. A well-developed road network links the towns, allowing easy movement between communities throughout the region.

The Segre River runs through the region, feeding an extensive network of irrigation channels that have watered the fields for centuries. This water system is essential to farming and visibly shapes the landscape.
