Rasquera (in Catalan; Valencian pronounced as /rasˈkeɾa/) is a municipality in the comarca of Ribera d'Ebre in the province of Tarragona in Catalonia, Spain. It is located at the feet of the Serra de Cardó close to Highway C-12.
The town is renowned for its basketwork and the production of "pastissets," a sweet pasty.
In 2012 the municipality voted to sign a 1.3 million euro deal with a cannabis association based in Barcelona, under which the municipality would lease land to the association to be used for growing the drug.[3]
