Living on the land

Riudecanyes is a small village of just over 1,100 inhabitants, located 15 km from Reus.

This corner of the Baix Camp is located in the interior of the region, an area dominated by fields of crops and fruit trees such as olive trees.

Riudecanyes is well known for the cultivation of the Arbequina olive tree and for the quality of its oil. Most of its people live of this traditional activity. Both the cultivation of the olives and the production of the oil are made by following the criteria of the Siurana DO, a designation that guarantees the highest quality of the product.
