Parc Barrell

Highlight • Structure

This a somewhat smaller replica of the original Parc Garrel that was built by Josep Pujiula i Vila. He built this after the other one was closed down and destroyed when a highway was built. It is a crazy and interesting place to visit. Make sure to continue down the trail to see all the structures that are built here.

Castellfollit de la Roca

Highlight • Settlement

The small village of Castellfollit de la Roca stands on a spectacular basaltic cliff, 50 meters high and almost a kilometer long, formed by the flow of the Fluvià river. The oldest part of the village dates back to the Middle Ages and is made up of squares, streets and shaded corners that offer relief from the summer heat. The narrow alleys of the village lead to the old church of Sant Salvador which dates back to the 13th century. From here you can enjoy an unparalleled panorama of the lush valley below: Castellfollit is in fact located close to the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Nature Reserve.

Olot

Highlight • Settlement

Olot, known as "the city of volcanoes", is the capital of the Garrotxa region, in the province of Girona, in Catalonia. It is known for its natural landscapes and its location within the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park. In its territory there are four volcanoes, two of which can be visited: Montsacopa and Montolivet. It also has valuable wetlands and the Croscat volcano in its surroundings. La Fageda d'en Jordá, a vast beech forest, is also a popular tourist attraction for walks, bike rides, horseback or carriage rides.

Olot has an outstanding cultural heritage, including modernist-style monuments and also the Renaissance-style cloister of El Carme.

The local gastronomy, known as "volcanic cuisine", is another tourist attraction in Olot. Olot potatoes are a famous recipe in the region. In addition, the city is home to the oldest bullring in Catalonia and the second oldest in Spain, built in 1859.
