We are happy to announce that we have launched officially our new website https://raldafriends.ch/, that is specifically aimed for our friends and adopters based in Switzerland. As we always say, Ralda+Friends is a family project whose roots, heart and olive trees are located in Godall (Tarragona, Spain).

We also have many great friends and adopters in Switzerland who like to enjoy the sun, health and the wise gastronomy of our Tierras del Ebro. However, as Switzerland is not part of the...

Le pillage des oliviers millénaires du Montsià s’intensifie Comme nous vous l’avons dit à plusieurs reprises, l’un des problèmes les plus douloureux que nous connaissons actuellement dans les Terres de l’Ebre est celui du pillage des oliviers monumentaux. En effet de plus en plus d’oliviers centenaires et millénaires de grande valeur sont achetés puis déracinés, en suite transportés dans d’autres régions d’Espagne ou de l’Union Européenne où ils sont supposés devenir la décoration des jardins et des propriétés privées ou d’entreprises ou institutions. La plateforme Salvem el Montsià” dénonce depuis des années une situation qui représente une perte irréparable pour...

As we have already told you, one of the most painful problems nowadays in the “Tierras del Ebro” region is what we call the plundering of olive trees. It happens when our centennial and millennial olive trees are indiscriminately uprooted and sold to agents around the world so they can use them to better decorate the gardens and properties of rich people or powerful institutions. For years, the “Salvem el Montsià” platform has been denouncing a situation that is considered an irreparable loss for our landscape, our environment and our economic and cultural heritage. Until now, this wealth can be...
