This is a circular route through Jesús Pobre and the town's surroundings, during which you get the chance to visit twelve rural heritage sites.

The route begins in the square known as Plaza Dr. Vicente Sentí and, going down Calle Diagonal, you get to the first stop: Riurau senyoret, a building widely used from the second half of the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century.

Continue walking along the street known as Calle de las Eras until you get to stop No. 2, which is the church of Jesús Pobre: it was constructed after the foundation of the hermitage in 1642 by the friar Padre Esteve. The church was built in the last third of the 17th century and two dates can be seen on the keystones of the reinforcing arches of the barrel vault: 1660 and 1668.

From there, go to Calle Balsas and follow the path until you get to stop No. 3, which is Casa de los Patos: a building with a sober architectural style dedicated to the work in the agricultural fields. Although its rural character can be somewhat deceiving, it is a house owned by wealthy people. Built during the period from 1848 to 1873, it is a clear example of the architecture which arose from the raisin economy.

Next up is stop No. 4, Alquería Colomer, made up of four buildings: Alquería Colomer, Riurau de los Saragossins, Casa de los Patos and Corrales de Montgó. The Alquería Colomer building was built in 1696.

Going down the same path and then going right at the crossroads, you get to stop No. 5, the cemetery.

Going up the lower street you arrive at stop No. 6, Quatre Cantons: a scattered settlement with a group of houses built between 1873 and 1900.

Nearby is stop No. 7, Riurau del Tio Berto.

To your left is stop No. 8, Tres Molins: mills located on a little hill, which were built between 1650 and 1708 and were used to grind wheat and produce flour.

Climbing up this hill and continuing along the path known as Camino Bisserot, you come across stop No. 9, Pozo de Bisserots. This well supplied water to the entire Bisserots farmhouse complex and distributed part of it through an irrigation system directed towards the vegetable gardens. The well is built upon an old elliptical waterwheel dating back to the 16th century.

On your left lies stop No. 10, Alquería de Bisserots: a Moorish-era village made up of several houses with construction techniques that take you back to the 15th and 16th centuries.

From here, follow the path towards the La Sella golf club where you can see stop No. 11, Alquería Ferrando: a farmhouse built during the 16th century that became, just like the one in Colomer, the economic centre of its zone.

Retrace your steps until you find stop No. 12, Balsa de los Moros, built during the 17th century. All the water that falls into it is collected by means of a large channel.
