The old town

Epicentre, the geopark's visitor centre
Tremp is the gateway to the Orígens UNESCO Global Geopark, the area with the highest concentration of dinosaur sites in Europe. The Epicentre, the geopark's visitor centre, is a must-stop if you're going to explore the region: it has up-to-date information on routes, exhibitions and family activities.
The Pinell park and everyday village life
The Pinell park, by the Noguera Pallaresa river, is a good spot for kids to run around in the shade for a while. Tremp has a weekly market, supermarkets, a pharmacy, bakeries and everything you need for day-to-day life during your stay — it's effectively the go-to town for anyone staying at Cal Nenot.
Wine from the Conca de Tremp
The Conca de Tremp has a winemaking tradition that's making a comeback, with several small wineries producing wine from the local area. It's worth asking at the Epicentre which wineries offer visits and tastings during your stay.
