Alto Urgel, Alt Urgell in Catalan, is a region that is located in the province of Lleida and that borders the following regions: Pallars Sobirà, Cerdanya, Berguedà, Solsonès, Noguera and Pallars Jussà. In addition, it also borders Andorra to the north. Another aspect to highlight is that it is divided into the following sub-regions: Baridá, Segre Mitjà and Urgelet.

In reference to the area, with approximately 1,446 square kilometers , it is the second region with the largest area in all of Catalonia. In total, it is made up of 19 municipalities, among which we highlight the following: La Seu d'Urgell (capital), Oliana, Ribera d'Urgellet, Coll de Nargó and Montferrer i Castellbò. Despite being one of the largest in terms of area, it has the peculiarity that it is one of the least populated.

Using the following means of transport you can easily access this region:

Car. The following highways cross the region: N-260, N-145 and C-14.

Bus. To get to the capital, La Seu d'Urgell, you can take buses in the main cities of Catalonia: Esparraguera, Igualada, Barcelona, Terrasa, Vic, Monistrol de Montserrat, etc.

Train. Although the capital is a large municipality, it currently does not have a train station.

If we refer to the location of Alt Urgell in Catalonia, we could say that it is in the area of the Pyrenees, that is, northwest of Catalonia. In addition, as we have mentioned previously, it limits to the north with the Principality of Andorra.
