Vandellòs i l'Hospitalet de l'Infant

Vandellòs i l'Hospitalet de l'Infant is a municipality located in Baix Camp between inland areas and the Mediterranean coast. The territory includes several communities spread across low-lying plains and mountainous terrain.

The area was inhabited since prehistoric times, as shown by ancient rock art. Hospitalet del Infante took its name from Infante Pedro, who established a settlement there in the 14th century.

The municipality preserves Levantine rock paintings from the Epipaleolithic period, which received UNESCO World Heritage designation in 1998.

The area is well connected by the AP-7 motorway and N-340 road, which provide key links in the region. The RENFE railway line connects the territory to nearby cities and makes travel easy.

Two nuclear power plants shape the industrial landscape of the region along the coast. These facilities have influenced the economic development of the territory for decades.
