The route starts in Torre de Tamúrcia, a small village attached to Tremp but with its own wild identity. From the very first moment, the path captivates you. An initial track leads you to a path marked with yellow paint that goes into the Sant Gervàs mountain range, revealing a landscape that changes with every step. The route is not for the faint hearted. The slope climbs steeply towards the Portús pass, one of the most spectacular places in the region. The landscape transforms before your eyes: ancient paths, pine forests, living rocks and open horizons that stretch as far as the Noguera Ribagorzana basin and, on clear days, as far as the Pyrenees.
Every step you take hides a story. Between 1716 and 1718, this road was arranged by the Bourbon authorities to facilitate the passage of artillery trains between Areny de Noguera and Talarn. Previously, it had been an essential route for muleteers carrying oil, wine and goods between mountain villages. The locals tell anecdotes of times gone by: mules climbing up the path, guided by the cries of the lads, crossing the stony terrain with determination. In winter, the inhabitants walked along it wearing espadrilles and woollen socks, the only refuge against the intense cold.
La Terreta' is a land of birds of prey. The Casal de los Buitres, located in the Torre de Tamúrcia itself, is the nerve centre for understanding this unique ecosystem. During the route, pay attention to the sky: vultures, eagles and other birds of prey soar overhead, reminding us that they dominate this corner of Pallars.
