⭐ Core Definition: Coll de Balaguer

The Coll de Balaguer is a mountain pass in Catalonia, Spain. It is located at the point where the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range reaches the sea, in L'Almadrava, within the Vandellòs i l'Hospitalet de l'Infant municipality, Baix Camp.

Despite its scant altitude this pass has been an important communication line between the Terres de l'Ebre region and the Camp de Tarragona since ancient times. Nowadays highways AP-7, N-340, as well as the RENFE Barcelona-Valencia railway line go through the Coll de Balaguer pass.

Terres de l'Ebre (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈtɛrəz ðə ˈleβɾə], in English 'Ebre Lands') is the south-westernmost of the eight regions (vegueries) defined by the Regional Plan of Catalonia. It has a population of 182,231 as of 2022, placing it second to last in terms of population. The region includes the comarques of Baix Ebre, Montsià, Terra Alta and Ribera d'Ebre. It is located in the lower course of the Ebre river, and its northern coastal limit is marked by the Coll de Balaguer, a natural limit with the Camp de Tarragona region.

It is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2013 being the second territory in Catalonia to be awarded with this recognition, the first one being the Montseny Massif.
