Salt del Fitó Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

1.89 km

The Salt del Fitó is a 60 meter high waterfall in the municipality of La Jonquera, in the Alt Empordà, in the Albera Natural Park of National Interest. Considered the highest waterfall in the Eastern Pyrenees, it forms part of the upper reaches of the Llobregat d'Empordà river basin. Mention has been made of it since 1887, when the writer Carles Bosch de la Trinxeria described the course of the river and the waterfall known as Salt d'en Fitó in his book Memories of a Wanderer.

Sant Pere del Pla de l'Arca Ruins

Highlight • Religious Site

Sant Pere del Pla de l'Arca is located in the highest basin of the Llobregat d'Empordà. Surrounded by oak forest and small fields, it was a single-nave church with a horseshoe-shaped apse. Its environment has been badly damaged by wind and forest fires, with particular severity in 1986 and 2012.
In the surroundings, in addition to the religious building, there are other interesting elements such as the town of Sant Pere, the Fitó waterfall or the Pedreguer dolmen.
