The best MTB trails around Agullana

A single-nave church with side chapels. The façade is the oldest part of the church. The portal is composed of four ruined semi-circular arches, a smooth tympanum featuring the Rocabertí coat of arms, and an architrave inscribed with the date May 18, 1414. The rest of the church (nave, transept, and apse) dates back to the 18th century. The roof is made of Arab tiles.

This pass was important as a passage between regions, especially in activities such as transhumance or the transport of goods. The snow wells that give the place its name were also key elements in the economy of the mountainous areas. The term "Pou de la Neu" refers to the snow or ice wells that were traditionally used to store snow during the winter. These structures, dug into the ground or built with stones, served to preserve ice that was later transported to the lower areas for use in food, medicine or food preservation.

very beautiful old church

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPTihCg51pw The current parish church of La Jonquera was started in 1414 by Bernat Gonbau Parer and his wife, according to the inscription on the portal, although there is documentation that testifies to an older origin. Initially it was a suffragan of Santa Maria d'Agullana and did not attain the status of parish until 1569. It is a single-nave building with a transept and dome, and a semicircular apse. The facade has been preserved from the construction or reform of the 15th century, with a portal that, despite the date, is still of the Romanesque tradition, made of very well-carved ashlars and formed by four archivolts in degradation, dust guard, and a smooth tympanum, where there is the coat of arms of the Rocabertí family. On the lintel, on both sides of the already mentioned inscription, there are reliefs of animals. The rest of the temple is the result of a reconstruction in the 18th century (it is noted that in 1790 it was still under construction).

It originates at the peak of the Llobregat, passes through the Jonquera and receives the waters of the southern slope of the Albera mountain range. It is a rainfed river, nourished only by autumn and spring rains and has a minimum in August. In terms of biological diversity, it must be said that it is a river full of life: it is populated by the typical Catalan river species, barbels and trout, crayfish (currently dominated by the American crayfish, the native has almost disappeared) , eels, water snakes, salamanders, toads, frogs... The banks are full of riparian vegetation: alders, poplars...

Fun track in good conditions with a positive gradient that ends at the Can Genis farmhouse (spectacular), located between Darnius and Agullana, it is a farmhouse made up of several buildings that have been added to over the centuries. In the 18th and 19th centuries, more modern buildings were added, such as the manor house, with a turret and gallery of arcades that describe a large terrace. I recommend going downhill and enjoying the curves and folds.

Small but very interesting town, visit its gorc full of all types of birds, enjoy its history and its restaurants.
