Millenary olive trees in Vinaròs

Vinaròs, which is located in a great plain close to the Mediterranean sea, in the north of the Comunitat Valenciana touching to the river Sénia, has a wide municipal area with different landscapes, from orchards to dry lands. The ancient settlements show the presence of the first settlers in Puig de la Ermita and that olive growing was a very important factor for the local economy over centuries, of which nowadays still remain some zones of olive groves, with a total of 26 Millenary Olive Trees in the whole municipal area.

Rossell

Rossell is situated to the right of the Sénia river, with the Cervol river and the high mountains of the Tinença de Benifassà as its limits. From la Pena de Bel, Rossell extends an entire carpet along a large and majestic plain in which the olive trees obtain their maximum prominence and for this reason, it is known as the sea of olive trees. Some of them were probably planted by the Romans and, after being cultivated by all civilizations, they can still be admired today.
