The Department of Territory, Habitatge i Transició Ecològica will launch next September a new regular bus line between Cervera and Guissona that will improve public transport alternatives for daily trips for work reasons, educational, commercial and administrative.
The new line, identified with the number 502, will offer twelve outbound and twelve return expeditions from Monday to Friday on weekdays, with a regular frequency of 60 minutes throughout the day.
It will join Guissona and Cervera in approx 22 minutes and will also serve the municipalities of Tarroja de Segarra and Torrefeta, the latter through stop on demand.
The Director of Transport and Mobility, Susie Lopez, presented the new connection at an event in Guissona, Monday 20 July, together with mayors of the municipalities through which it passes.
Representing the Paeria de Cervera, the Councilor for Youth and Education attended, Carolina Garcia.
The performance, which will lead to an increase in the contribution of the Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition of uns 215.000 euros per year, will improve public transport alternatives by facilitating intermodality between rail services and intercity buses.
In this line, all the integrated titles and rates of the Lleida Regional Mobility Authority will be valid (ATM Lleida), a fact that will facilitate the combined use of the different modes of public transport.
The service will be operated by La Hispano Igualadina, company of the Monbus group and concessionaire of the line.
"This new line will bring the rail services of Rodalies de Lleida closer to the population of La Segarra and its surroundings, reinforcing at the same time the role of Cervera as an intermodal node of reference and facilitating the access of the citizens of Guissona and its area of influence to both the railway network and the set of public transport connections in the country" emphasized the Director of Transport and Mobility, Susie Lopez.
The Paeria de Cervera and the Town Hall of Vila Nova de Cerveira, a Portugal, have signed this weekend a twinning protocol that establishes the basis for a stable cooperative relationship between the two municipalities. The event, celebrating the Noble Hall of the Town Hall of Vila Nova de Cerveira, it symbolizes the commitment of both institutions to promote cultural exchange, institutional and touristic.
The twinning is born from an element as unique as it is significant: the two cities share a name with the same etymological origin, linked to the concept of "deer place". Other affinities are added to this coincidence, as an outstanding medieval heritage, with historic castles, a similar population (d'us 9.000 inhabitants) and a common commitment to preserve local identity and promote the development of their territories.
The Cervera delegation, headed by the father in chief, Jan Pomés, and integrated by councilors Antonio Delgado and Montserrat Closa, was received by the president of the Municipal Chamber of Vila Nova de Cerveira, Rui Teixeira.
During the signing ceremony, Jan Pomés emphasized that "beyond sharing the name, we share a past that unites us and the will to build a future together". The father-in-chief also thanked the journalist Ramon Font from Cervera for his work, promoter of the initiative, "for having made this historic moment possible for Cervera and for having connected our city with other cultures, stories and realities".
For his part, Rui Teixeira will state that, with the signature of the protocol, the two cities have begun to write a history made of common projects, encounters, friendship and mutual growth. The Portuguese mayor also expressed the wish that "future generations can remember this day as the birth of a relationship capable of enriching our territories and bringing Portugal and Spain even closer together".
The institutional day also included a visit to the historic center of Vila Nova de Cerveira, with special attention to its medieval castle, as well as the participation of the Cerveira delegation in the XXIV International Art Biennial of Cerveira.
The origin of twinning
The origin of the initiative dates back to the year 2023, when the journalist from Cerveira Ramon Font discovered the many coincidences between the two towns while accompanying the pilgrims Joan Puig and Xavier Sanz on a section of the Portuguese Way of Sant Jaume that crosses Vila Nova de Cerveira. That experience gave rise to the first institutional contacts between the two municipalities and opened the way to the now formalized twinning.
The agreement gives continuity to the exchanges started in recent years. The September of 2024, Rui Teixeira officially visited Cervera in a meeting that made it possible to consolidate the twinning project and strengthen the ties between the two cities. During that visit, the participation of Vila Nova de Cerveira in the commemorative events of the Cervera Millennium was also confirmed, which will be held next September. Among the planned activities, the Portuguese delegation will take part in the Cerveres Meeting, an event that will bring together municipalities with this toponym to highlight the heritage and historical ties they share.
La Paeria de Cervera has launched the Neighborhood Plan website, a new digital space that collects all the information of one of the most important urban transformation projects that the city will face in the coming years. The portal offers a global view of the project, allows you to consult the planned actions, learn about the participatory process that made it possible and follow the evolution of a plan that will shape the future of the historic center.
The launch of the website coincides with the final stretch of the process before the official presentation of the Neighborhood Plan to the Generalitat de Catalunya, planned for the next 17 July. The document is the result of three years of shared work with citizens and defines a comprehensive strategy to promote urban regeneration, social, economic and heritage of the historic center.
In recent months, the head priest and various members of the municipal government have started a round of meetings with the neighborhood councils, neighborhood associations, the business fabric, cultural entities, the educational centers, traders and other social agents to present the main axes of the project and share its objectives before its official presentation.
With a global investment of 12,5 millions of euros, the Plan envisages actions such as the transformation of Paseo Balmes, Magdalena de Montclar and its surroundings in a new green lung for the city, the improvement of public space, the creation of new accessible itineraries, the expansion of the parking offer, the installation of urban elevators, the recovery of municipal buildings and the enhancement of historical and archaeological heritage.
The rehabilitation of the residential park is one of the main axes of the project, with an endowment of 3 millions of euros in housing aid, facades, roofs and commercial premises. This subsidy program aims to mobilize private investment, expand the range of housing and contribute to the economic and commercial revitalization of the historic centre.
The Plan also incorporates measures to adapt to climate change, with the creation of new green spaces and shadow areas, more accessible mobility and the recovery of facilities such as Cal Moixó and Cal Breu to expand municipal services and strengthen the dissemination of heritage.
The mayor, Jan Pomés, has affirmed that "the District Plan is, above all, a project designed for people. This is my vision for the historic center: a more lively space, habitable, accessible and full of opportunities. For three years we have listened to the neighbors and the organizations so that they were the ones to explain to us what this one needs
neighborhood, and the good reception and involvement we have found throughout this process reaffirms to us that we are on the right track".
The new portal was created with the aim of guaranteeing maximum transparency and bringing the project closer to the public, becoming the main channel of information and monitoring of the Neighborhood Plan. Through this space, residents will be able to consult the documentation, find out the state of execution of the actions and follow the evolution of a project that aspires to transform the historic center of Cervera.
The Tourism Board of La Paeria continues to bet on bringing the city's history and heritage closer to all audiences with the incorporation of “The Little Millennium”, a new family guided tour of the cycle “Traveling through time”. Premiered this Sunday as part of Cervera's Millennium events, the proposal offers children an experience adapted to their age, which invites them to discover the city through legends, characters and curiosities, making them true explorers of the past.
The tour started at the Castle of Cervera and continued with a very special visit to the Àliga de Cervera, located in its new location next to the Paeria, where the children learned about the symbolism of one of the most representative figures of the festive entourage. In front of the facade of the Paeria, they also discovered the meaning of the corbels that represent the market, the Paeria and the prison, before entering the witches' alley, Teco alley, the Barbican and the University of Cervera, discovering some of the most outstanding episodes in Cervera history.
The day ended with a very special surprise: Members of the Geganters de Cervera group are going to present the giant Nasa Tabaco to the infants, one of the most emblematic characters of the Cervera festival. Thanks for your explanations, the participants learned about the history of this popular tavern linked to the students of the old University.
The hot wind blew hard at the top of the Castle Hill while, on the horizon, the column of smoke from the Guimerà fires recalled the harshness of a summer afternoon. Despite the heat, close to 300 people went up to the site this Thursday to get a closer look at the results of the fifth archaeological work site in Cervera, a particularly symbolic edition to coincide with the commemoration of the Millennium of the city's population charter.
The visitors, distributed in small groups of about five people, they toured the four intervention spaces guided by the same young people who, for fifteen days, have participated in the excavation. After a historical and geographical introduction by the heritage interpreter, Montserrat Perez, the participants explained in first person what they had discovered and how an archaeological intervention is carried out.
At the entrance of the Castell, this year's intervention has had the character of an archaeological check. The objective was to verify if it contains preserved stratigraphy that can be excavated., given that this space had already been the subject of an archaeological intervention at the beginning of the years 2000. The work has confirmed the preservation of some archaeological levels, a fact that opens the door to future interventions aimed at deepening the knowledge of this sector of the site.
The second space was in the central area of the Castle, where the work has focused on the surface cleaning of the land. This action has made it possible to locate new walls that help to better understand the internal distribution of the old fortification.
To the west area, the archaeologists have completed an excavation started in previous campaigns until reaching the mother rock, the natural geological level. “Here we know that there is nothing more to dig”, they explained during the visit, a point that ends stratigraphic research in this sector.
The itinerary ends around the tower, one of the most emblematic spaces of the site, where the work continues to provide information on the different phases of occupation of the hill.
Beyond material findings, the aim of the intervention is to understand the dynamics of the population and the historical evolution of the Castle, origin of the medieval town of Cervera. During the explanations, interpreter Montserrat Pérez summed up the essence of the discipline with a sentence that captured the attention of the attendees: “Archaeologists destroy. We peel back layers so we can discover and understand the story”.
the project
The fifth edition of the archaeological work field has been developed from 28 from June to 12 of July with the participation of 33 young people among 14 i 17 years: 18 Cervera, within the local work field, i 15 coming from different parts of the State, in the framework of the national camp. In addition to the stratigraphic excavation, participants have carried out laboratory tasks such as cleaning, classification, identification, registration and conservation of recovered materials.
Coinciding with the Millennium year (1026-2026), this fifth edition reinforces the value of archaeological research in the Castle, a project that, after five years, has been established as a key initiative to preserve, study and spread the historical heritage of Cervera among the new generations.
The work camp is organized by the General Directorate of Youth of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Paeria de Cervera, with the management of the participants in charge of the leisure cooperative Qualia and the technical advice and archaeological coordination of La Nova.
