Where is Puntal dels Escambrons?
Puntal dels Escambrons is a hill that stands 495 meters (about 1,624 feet) above sea level. This makes it the highest point in the Segrià area, which is called a 'comarca' in Catalonia.
You can find this hill where the towns of Almatret (in Segrià) and Riba-roja d'Ebre (in Ribera d'Ebre) meet. It's right on the border between these two places.
Wind Power on the Hill
A special project called the Parc Eòlic Els Escambrons is being built here. This is a wind farm, which means big wind turbines will be placed on the hill and nearby ridges. These turbines will use the wind to create clean electricity for homes and businesses.
