When we think of the largest municipalities in Catalonia, it is easy to imagine cities like Barcelona or Lleida, large cities where walking between buildings tirelessly.
But the truth is that this is not so, and in the Pyrenees hides a municipality that is three times larger than the capital of Catalonia.
What is the largest municipality in Barcelona?
We are talking about Tremp, a town in the province of Lleida located in the region of Pallar Jussà.
And although only about 6,000 people live in Tremp, that is, 271 times less than in Barcelona, the municipality has an area of 302.8 km2, or three times the size of Barcelona, which has 101 km2. of surface.
A large part of the municipality of Tremp is pure Pyrenean mountain, with beautiful places such as the Romanesque church of Santa Maria de Valldeflors, the castle of Mur or the fascinating Route of the Dinosaurs.
Therefore, going to Tremp is a great idea to get away from Barcelona and be able to say that you are going to the largest city in Catalonia.
