The town of l'Espluga de Francolí has confirmed its position as a prominent tourist destination in Conca de Barberà, recording a significant influx of visitors during Easter Week of 2026.

Between March 30 and April 6, the municipal Tourist Office attended to a total of 1,484 people, with 349 inquiries registered. These figures reflect intense activity and the success of the special program designed for these dates.
The increase in visitors is attributed to a diversified offering that combined elements of heritage, culture, and family activities. The program included guided tours, immersive experiences, and proposals adapted for all audiences, responding to the characteristic demand of the holiday period.
The Coves de l'Espluga (Caves of l'Espluga) were one of the main attractions, with 1,704 visitors enjoying guided tours in various languages, prehistoric workshops, and the revival of the Adventure Route. Other sites such as the Fassina Balanyà received 92 visitors, and the Templar and Hospitaller Route with virtual reality attracted 61 participants.
The old church was also a significant point of interest, with 1,152 visitors throughout Easter Week, of whom 467 climbed the bell tower. Good Friday was the busiest day, coinciding with the celebration of traditional events such as the Via Crucis and the Holy Burial procession, which contributed to increasing public presence.
