Les Borges Blanques

Les Borges Blanques (Catalan pronunciation: [lez ˈβɔɾdʒez ˈβlaŋkes]) is the capital of the comarca of Les Garrigues, in the province of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain.

It lies in the southern sector of the central Catalan depression, near the zone watered by the Urgell canal.

The economy is agricultural, and Les Borges Blanques is a major producer of olives, in particular a variety known as arbequina which produces a highly prized oil.

The traditional symbol of this city is an ox, which appears on a widely used but unofficial coat of arms.
