Alcarraz is located in the inland region of Catalonia, within the Province of Lleida, approximately 12 kilometers west of the city of Lleida. While it doesn’t sit directly on the coast, it enjoys easy access to nearby natural landscapes, including the Pyrenees Mountains to the north and the rich agricultural plains of the Segre River. Its position makes it a serene spot that is removed from the tourist-heavy areas of the coast but still connected to Catalonia’s major transportation routes.
The city’s climate is Mediterranean-continental, characterized by hot summers and mild, cool winters. Average summer temperatures can reach 30°C (86°F) or higher, making spring and autumn the best times for visitors who want to explore comfortably. Winter brings occasional frost, but the mild conditions make it suitable for visitors throughout the year. For outdoor events and festivals, late spring and early autumn are perfect, with pleasant weather and clear skies.
Alcarraz is also conveniently located near several larger cities, including Lleida (12 km) and Barcelona (about 150 km), making it a short drive or train ride away from the cultural and economic hubs of Catalonia.
