Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa Natural Park

城市概覽

There are 3 main parts on the park

Olot and the route until Santa Pau Castellfollit de la Roca Sant Feliu de Pallerols area The park is in La Garrotxa county, which has an entrepreneurial spirit that is reflected in its culture and social network, in its traditions, and also in its economy and gastronomy. In La Garrotxa, a deep-rooted tradition with long experience in artistic teaching stands out, related to the centuries-old religious imagery industry. This spirit is also reflected in Garrotxa society, with an associative network with many entities — there are more than 350 socio-cultural entities in the natural park — and where popular festivals and traditions are well-rooted and very participatory. The industry and services of the region are mostly run by local companies with great drive. Many have expanded beyond the boundaries of the region. Gastronomy has always been a pillar of the region and has known how to take advantage of a quality pantry.

必看景點

Volcanoes 1 Montsacopa Volcano Nature Reserve. It is the last volcano to emerge in the Olot plain. It erupted about 100,000 years ago. During the French occupation of 1812, the hermitage on the edge of the crater was walled in, and the two defence towers that are still preserved were built. The Viacrucis path, built in the 19th century, rises from the Olot cemetery and skirts the crater, following a circular path with birches and benches that is a magnificent 360° viewpoint of the city of Olot and its surroundings. The Montsacopa volcano had been completely deforested and cultivated. The bottom of its circular crater is occupied by fields and the southern flank has orchards, while on the northern flank the forest vegetation has recovered spontaneously.

Sant Marc volcano is horseshoe-shaped, while the conduit of Puig Roig volcano is in the open as it used to be used as a basalt quarry. (updated Sep 2025) 3 Castellfollit de la Roca basaltic cliff. The town is located at an altitude of 296 m and sits on a basalt cliff, the Castellfollit cliff. It is more than 50 m high and almost a kilometre long. This basalt cliff is the result of the erosive action of the Fluvià and Toronell rivers on volcanic remains from thousands of years ago. The cliff is the superposition of two lava flows: the first, 217,000 years old, comes from Batet de la Serra (Olot) and is formed by slab
