What to visit<\/h3>\n

The offer of activities and experiences in Espluga de Francol\u00ed is powerful and varied. The most famous proposal is the Cave of l’Espluga<\/strong>, a visit that allows you to enter the largest and most important Paleolithic Sanctuary<\/strong> in Catalonia. In addition to the museum, there are guided family excursions to get to know the interior of the caves or for the more daring, caving routes through the underground river.<\/p>\n

In Espluga we find a valuable medieval heritage, such as the Templar and Hospital Route<\/strong>; and just two kilometers away we find the Poblet Monastery<\/strong>, the most iconic of the Cistercian Route.<\/strong> A medieval heritage that is preserved alive thanks to the artisans of the town.<\/p>\n

Wine lovers visitors can also enjoy a visit to the modernist winery, now the Wine Museum<\/strong>, or a visit to the VidBertus Winery<\/strong>, where they can learn first-hand about the emerging wine sector from the area and enjoy wine tasting and experiences around the vineyards.<\/p>\n
