Where is Santa Engràcia Located?
Santa Engràcia is found in the northeastern part of Spain. It sits about 104 kilometers (or 65 miles) north-northeast of Lleida, a larger city in the same province. The village is nestled in a mountainous area, giving it a unique and scenic setting. Its elevation is about 1,012 meters (3,320 feet) above sea level. This high location means it often has cooler temperatures and clear views of the surrounding landscape.
What is a Hamlet?
A hamlet is a very small settlement, even smaller than a village. It usually has a few houses and sometimes a church or a small shop, but it doesn't have a local government or many services like a town or city. Santa Engràcia fits this description perfectly with its small population. Hamlets are often found in rural areas, away from big cities.
The Municipality of Tremp
Santa Engràcia is part of the municipality of Tremp. A municipality is an area governed by a local council. Tremp is the largest municipality in Catalonia by area. It includes many small villages and hamlets like Santa Engràcia. The main town of Tremp provides services and facilities for all the smaller communities within its borders.
Catalonia: A Region of Spain
Catalonia is one of the 17 autonomous communities of Spain. This means it has its own government and a certain level of self-rule, similar to a state in the United States. Catalonia is known for its unique culture, language (Catalan), and beautiful landscapes, which range from Mediterranean beaches to high mountains. The Province of Lleida is one of the four provinces that make up Catalonia.
