A short stroll which allows us to visit the point where
the waters of the Segre and the Valira meet, very close to La Seu.
This
very short stroll approaches us in its precise point where the river
Valira, that comes from Andorra, joins to the Segre, just a kilometre
and a half from the southwest of the urban centre of la Seu. We will
see it from the left shore of the Segre, by the track that also goes
to Arfa.
Throughout
the stroll we see, always on the other side of the river, the town of
Castellciutat and the formidable set of fortifications that during three
centuries were object of sieges, attacks and diverse warlike eventful
journeys. The going is done by the asphalt upper road that arrives until
the torrent of "La Coma"; we return by the low track, the
nearest to the river, that flows parallel to the first one.
The place where the two rivers meet is well perceivable, and often
the water of the Segre is one colour and the one of the Valira is another
one: they are mixed in one moment, and some meters down they are already
the same one.
