About

Les Garrigues, with 20,350 inhabitants (2008) and 799.71 sq. km, are bounded in the north by Segria, Pla d'Urgell and Urgell, in the south by Priorat, in the east by Conca de Barbera, whereas the west is bounded by Tarragona's region Ribera d'Ebre. Garrigues cuisine offers a wide variety of dishes in which the extra virgin olive oil made in the region is the main ingredient. Consell Comarcal de les Garrigues, together with restaurants of the region, organises Mostra Gastronomica de les Garrigues (Garrigues Gastronomic Weeks), which is usually held in November every year. Mostra Gastronomica de les Garrigues helps to introduce and promote the typical cuisine of our region as well as the so special taste that olive oil provides our dishes with.
