On March 30, 2025, the 40th Anniversary of the Poblet Natural Site will be celebrated. This event marks four decades of conservation, nature, and effort to maintain this unique natural space, which has been a reference for biodiversity and heritage in the region.
The celebration promises to be a day full of activities and memorable moments for all nature and history lovers. Throughout the day, attendees will be able to enjoy guided tours, talks, workshops, and exhibitions that allow them to learn about the culture, fauna, and flora of one of the most important natural parks in Catalonia. In addition, visitors will have the chance to participate in family-friendly activities, such as traditional games and music. It will be an ideal event to connect with the environment, learn about ecosystem conservation, and, most importantly, celebrate the achievements made in the last 40 years toward preserving this natural space.
The Poblet Natural Site, located in the Conca de Barbera region, is a protected area that spans 13,500 hectares, surrounded by mountains, lush forests, and a rich historical and cultural heritage. It is a unique place that stands out not only for its biodiversity but also for its great historical importance, as it is home to the famous Poblet Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991.
The Natural Site extends across the municipalities of Vimbodí, Poblet, and L’Espluga de Francolí and is characterized by its varied landscapes: from dense pine and oak forests to extensive olive groves that coexist with a beautiful mountainous landscape. This natural environment is home to diverse wildlife, including species such as deer, wild boars, golden eagles, and a wide variety of birds of prey.
The 40th Anniversary of the Poblet Natural Site promises to be a day full of activities for everyone, both children and adults, to enjoy and learn about the natural and cultural wealth of the site. Some of the featured activities include:
Guided tours of the Natural Site: Local guides will take you to explore some of the most iconic spots of the park. During the tours, you will discover the biodiversity preserved in this protected space, learn about its geological history, and, if you’re lucky, spot wildlife in its natural habitat. The tours are designed for all levels, so both experienced hikers and families with children can enjoy them.
Educational workshops and children’s activities: There will be a series of interactive workshops designed to teach young ones about the flora, fauna, and natural surroundings of the area. Children will learn to identify different species of trees, flowers, and animals, and participate in games and activities related to environmental conservation.
Exhibition on the history of the Natural Site: A special exhibition will be available, covering 40 years of the history of Poblet’s site, from its creation to the present day. The exhibition will include old photographs, historical documents, and informative panels explaining what this natural space is like and how it is managed and protected.
Musical vermouth: The event will also feature a musical vermouth, creating a lively atmosphere. It will be a chance to enjoy traditional Catalan music and other genres amidst an incomparable natural setting.
The 40th Anniversary of the Poblet Natural Site is not only an opportunity to celebrate the ecological and cultural value of this space but also to raise awareness about the importance of its conservation. The event will attract nature lovers, families seeking an educational experience, and those wishing to spend a weekend in a unique natural environment.
