Banqueta de Juneda

Highlight • Trail

La Banqueta is the name given to the tree-lined paths that are on the sides of canals or rivers. Since the construction of the Canal de Urgell, thousands of trees have been planted in the main network of this canal with two purposes: to help stabilize the riverbed and to take advantage of the sidewalks, either with the production of fruits, firewood or wood from these trees.

In 1902, the small hydroelectric plant, known as the First Machine, was built. It took advantage of the waterfall for the generation of energy. The electricity produced served to bring light to the town of Juneda, being a heritage of special memory for its inhabitants.

Nou Salts of the Canals d'Urgell

Highlight • Waterfall

At this point, we find nine waterfalls along 300 meters that cover a drop of 23 meters. An iconic place on the Juneda sidewalk route, especially at the time of the ditch, when the water falls with more force.
