Entering the Pla d'Urgell region, the route climbs little by little until it reaches the irrigation channel of the Sierra, which will offer us great views of the plan.

After passing through the Salt del Duran, we will arrive at Mollerussa, headquarters of the Community of Irrigators of the Canals of Urgell. We turn northeast to get through Vila-Sana to Lake Ivars, the largest in Catalonia. Leaving the pond behind, we will pass by the Castillo del Remei and Linyola, and by the path that follows the Auxiliar Canal we will reach Balaguer.

From here we will pass through different towns to Tàrrega. We will go through roads, fields between sown and dry fields that will return the Urgell Canal. There we will enjoy the Iberian fortress of Els Vilars, finally we reach Juneda through beautiful forests.
