From the unparalleled place, Priorat rises Poboleda, a town with moderate slopes and a place where the Siurana River passes by with no more than 370 inhabitants and 14 square kilometers.
The meaning of its name, “Bosque de Chopos or Álamos”, says a lot about what Poboleda is: a place surrounded by particular vegetation.
