Sudanell (Catalan pronunciation: [suðaˈneʎ]) is a municipality in the comarca of the Segrià in Catalonia. It is located by the junction of two rivers: the Segre and the Set. Agriculture is Sudanell's principal economic activity (peaches, apples, pears, corn). Two canals: Canal de Seròs and Acèquia de Torres irrigate the area.

  • The Official town's Holy Day is on the first weekend in October.
