The town of Ponts officially opened a new tourist route through its historic quarter this February 22, coinciding with the 151st anniversary of the Lo Ranxo festival.

Titled Ponts, camins d'aigua i de pedra, the trail guides visitors through iconic sites such as Santa Maria Church, the Ice Well (Pou de Gel), and the arched Carrer Major. The project aims to revitalize local tourism by highlighting the architectural and commercial history of the Noguera region.
The route integrates modern technology, including QR codes available in four languages and 360-degree virtual tours of monuments. Developed with support from the Museu de la Noguera, the itinerary also links to hiking paths leading to the Romanesque church of Sant Pere de Ponts.
The festivities conclude this evening at the Sala 1 d'Octubre with an acoustic performance by the renowned band Companyia Elèctrica Dharma, marking the end of a week dedicated to tradition and culture.
