This is an easy circular route that is 9.68 kilometres long and goes through the town of Jesús Pobre and its surroundings. The route begins in the square known as Plaça del Doctor Vicente Senti, from which it is necessary to go down the avenue called Avenida Diagonal, until the first stop: the so-called Riurau Senyoret, a building widely used from the second half of the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century.
Next up is the street known as Carrer de Les Eres, to be walked along until the church of Jesús Pobre, which was built after the founding of the hermitage, in 1642, by Fra Pare Esteve. Two dates, 1660 and 1668, can be seen on the reinforcing arches of the temple’s vault.
From there, go towards the street called Carrer de Les Basses and follow the path until the house known as Casa dels Patos: a building owned by wealthy people that has a sober architectural style and was intended for catering to the work of the countryside. Built in the period from 1848 to 1873, it is a clear example of architecture dedicated to the raisin industry.
Next is Alqueria Colomer, composed of four buildings: the farmhouse (built in 1696), the Saragossins riurau, Casa dels Patos and the livestock pens called Corrals de Montgó.
Going down the same path and taking a right at the junction, the route arrives at the cemetery. After that, going up Carrer de Baix, one comes across Els Quatre Cantons: a scattered settlement in which there is a group of houses, built between 1873 and 1900. Nearby is the riurau that belonged to Tio Berto.
Pass by the three mills known as Tres Molins, which were built between 1650 and 1708, and were used to grind wheat and produce flour. Going up the path known as Senda dels Tossals dels Molins and continuing along Camí Bisserot, the next stop is the well called Pou de Bisserots. The well was built on top of an ancient elliptical waterwheel dating from the 16th century. To its left is Alqueria de Bisserots, a village from the Moorish period, consisting of several homes with visible construction techniques from the 15th and 16th centuries.
From there, the route goes towards the golf club of La Sella, where one can see the farmhouse known as Alqueria Ferrando, built in the 16th century and for a long time the economic centre of the surrounding area, just like the aforementioned Alqueria Colomer.
Return along the same route until reaching Bassa dels Moros, from the 17th century, which is a pond that collects all the water from the surroundings by way of a big canalisation system.
