This is a surprising region for the variety of activities on offer. The capital, Cervera (16km) is a city with a long history dating from the 12th century. The city lived its golden age in the 18th century when it had the honour of housing the only university in Catalonia. Among other things, visits to the university, the castles in neighbouring towns of Pallargues and Florejacs and the remains of the Roman town of Iesso (Guissona) are a must. Portell forms part of the municipality of St. Ramon, well known for its Monastery and Baroque style church, and also its Sanctuary, declared of Cultural and Artistic Interest in 1980.
