Day 521 - 18/03/2015 : Conca de Barberà countryside

The vineyards in Conca de Barberà are planted in the valleys of the rivers Francolí and Anguera and are surrounded and protected by mountain ranges: the Serra de Montclar, Codony mountain and Serra de Comalats in the north, the Serra de Miramar and Cogulló in the east, the Serra de Prades in the south, and the Serra del Tallat and Serra de Vilobí in the west.

The land is mainly flat or slightly undulating at heights of between 350 and 600 m above sea level.

Most of the vines are on dark lime bearing soils, quite loose and poor in organic matter. Towards the foothills of the Sierra de Prades slate can be found in the rock.

Interesting, isn't it?
