The city of Tàrrega has launched the educational and recreational route 'Treasure Hunters', promoted by the Tàrrega Urgell Museum and the Maria Mercè Marçal school, to introduce local heritage to Primary school children.

The Tàrrega Urgell Museum and the Maria Mercè Marçal school have launched 'Treasure Hunters', a new educational and recreational route aimed at Primary school students in Tàrrega. The initiative, officially presented on June 6th and 7th, primarily aims to introduce children and their families to the historical and cultural heritage of the municipality in an experiential, active, and age-appropriate manner.
The project invites students to become little explorers of their surroundings. Participants will tour various emblematic points in the old town of Tàrrega, following an itinerary marked on an informational leaflet.
At each stop on the route, users will find a QR code linking to audio explanations. These informational capsules about monuments and heritage sites have been prepared and recorded by the children of the Maria Mercè Marçal school, thus fostering co-responsibility in the dissemination of local history and intergenerational connection.
Through this initiative, the Tàrrega City Council and the educational center are joining forces to enhance the pedagogical use of public spaces in the capital of Urgell. The route will remain operational and accessible, and interested families can collect the leaflet at the Tàrrega Urgell Museum throughout June.
