Garrigues (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a comarca (county) in Ponent, Catalonia, Spain. Its capital is Les Borges Blanques. Its symbol (on the flag and shield in the right panel) is an olive branch, Garrigues being the center of olive cultivation (most of it without the necessity of irrigation) in all of Catalonia.[1]

History

The cave paintings at Roca dels Moros, El Cogul, are the most important vestiges of prehistoric settlement in Garrigues. A Neolithic tomb has been found at Les Borges Blanques. During the Iberian era, the comarca was settled by the Ilergetians. There is documentation also for Roman summer residences and country villas, particularly in the north, but the Roman influence died out soon after.[1]
