The tour step by step

If you start the tour in Arnes, located in the main square we can admire a privileged panoramic view of Ports. The historic center of this town was declared an interest cultural property by the Generalitat of Catalunya and the Town Hall is one of the first Renaissance style.

To go to the Greenway we have to leave the town by road in front of the intersection of the road T-330 (Gandesa - Vall-de-roures) with the entrance to the town, following the signs posts during about 5 km until the boundaries of Catalounya with Aragó, next to river Algars, where there is an ideal small dam ideal to swim. From there, you can see the imposing concrete bridge to cross the river, and where you can practice adventure sports such as bungee jumping. Nearby, there is Arnes-Lledó station, starting point of the Terra Alta Greenway.

You can also visit the Chapel of Sant Josep, from where you can see a fantastic view of Bot, ranges of Pàndols and Cavalls and the Greenway. Next to the chapel there is the recreational area of ​​the Forat de la Donzella.
