We are very happy to announce that the millenary olive trees from the Sénia Territory (to which Godall belongs) have been declared by UNFAO as “Important System of World Agricultural Heritage (SIPAM)”. On December 7, our local newspaper, Mes Ebre (see: https://bit.ly/2FHTryy) reported that this acknowledgment was approved by the GIAHS program of the FAO and its Scientific Advisory Group. The Scientific Advisory Group also congratulated all the people involved in the candidacy and stated that the bidding letter from Ms. Tere Adell (manager of the Senia Territory) was the “best presentation letter” received.

In Spain, where the regions of Valencia, Catalonia and Aragon meet, you can find the Sénia Territory. There, between the Sénia River and the...

Summer holidays are here and Ralda&Friends want to suggest original activities in our region that may nourish both your health and mind. Our suggestion of today is about oleo-tourism and, particularly, about a very interesting asset located in the village of Ulldecona, in Tarragona province, very close to our home in Godall. There, in Ulldecona, you will find a unique natural patrimony: around 40 millenary olive-tree (not to confound with the “millennial” people), some of them aged more than 1.700 years, that are still in production of olive-oil. You can meet these wonderful trees and the lands surrounding by following...

Some 20 people, coming from Spain, Switzerland and France came to discover the origins of our project and enjoyed a wonderful Mediterranean day with temperatures close to 30ºC in some moments of the day. The activity with our friends started by 9.30 by having breakfast on the Fair installations, with typical bread, “botifarra amb ailoli” (Catalan sausage) and asparagus omelette (stay connected as we are publishing the recipe soon). Then,...
