Their altitude moves between the 500 and 800 m. This plateau is characterized to be in passing area between the coast and the interior and between the northern districts and the southern ones, giving place to a specific type of landscape that it appears perfectly represented along the dividing one created.

If we should define the Segarra with a single sentence, we could surely say that the Segarra is the Catalan presenter's beginning, a group of perfectly differentiated districts of the group.
