Camí de l’Obago

The Camí de l’Obago is a botanical itinerary located in the village of Vilaller, in the region of Alta Ribargorça (Lleida). The path runs along the initial section of the old Camí de Castanesa, between the tracks of Riupedrós and Seu de Baix. Muleteers, shepherds and pedestrians used this route for centuries as a means of communication and exchange between the towns of Vilaller and Castanesa.
It is one of the best preserved typical mountain paths in the Barravés Valley. The quality of the cobblestones, the beauty of the moss-covered walls and the shade that presides over much of the route, make this short excursion a pleasant experience.
On a one-kilometre route, a set of panels are located with information on the most representative species of the flora of the Valley. [1][2] The species under study are the following: elm (Ulmus minor), linden (Tilia cordata), ivy (Hedera helix), boxwood (Buxus sempervirens), holly (Ilex aquifolium), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), hazelnut (Corylus avellana), white maple (Acer campestre), oak (Quercus humilis), squirrel (Sorbus aria), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), olive tree (Ligustrum vulgare) and sanguine (Cornus sanguinea).

The installation of this route was carried out thanks to a collaboration project between the City Council of Vilaller and the Episcopal College of Lleida. It was inaugurated on April 1, 2021 and is one of the tourist attractions in the area
