El Milà: The land of the hazelnut
Be sure not to miss: the Old Church of el Milà, under the patronage of Santa Úrsula, and Castell, an old residential house where the military man Pere Nolasc de Balsa was said to have been born in the 18th century.
The Old Church of el Milà dates from the 18th century and was annexed to Castell from the year 1711, when the construction was completed, serving as its chapel. In 1909, when there was a cyclone through the Francolí river basin which destroyed crops and buildings in neighbouring towns, the church steeple, with two openings for two bells, fell on its roof. The new neo-Gothic temple was built on the same site in 1914 and was restored at the end of the Civil War.
The castle, the old residential house, is another important construction, where the military man Pere Nolasc de Balsa was said to have been born in the 18th century.
Milà is also notable for the cultivation of almonds, hazelnuts, vines and olive trees. Exploring the beautiful landscapes in the area on foot or by bike is highly recommended.
