Travel Guide La Sénia

Between the sea and the mountains, La Sénia, a town in the Montsià region, enjoys a privileged position, on the one hand as the gateway to the Els Ports Natural Park, to the beech forests in the south of the park, and on the other hand because of its proximity to the golden beaches of the coast. Its territory preserves a generous nature populated by fields of thousand-year-old olive trees and lush forests where the river Sénia blossoms, the vibrant lung of the city linking Catalonia to the Valencian Country.The historic center of medieval origin has some interesting monuments such as the church of Sant Bartomeu or the Font Vella. The viewpoint of the Bruch square offers a pleasant view of the surroundings, if you pass by. For history and aviation enthusiasts, the La Sénia air camp is worth a visit. It was used during the war by the Republicans and the German Condor Legion. It is also worth noting that La Sénia has a long tradition of carpentry, which developed in the 19th century and is now the economic engine of the city.At 24 km from La Sénia, it is advisable to reach the leisure area of La Fou or La Vall, from the Mas de Barberans, from where several hiking routes start. For more information, go to the tourist office (Passeig de la Clotada, 23-25), which houses the Pere de Montcada library and, above all, the visitors' center of the natural park.
