Parc Natural de la Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa

Catalunya · Garrotxa, estribaciones orientalesFoothills

Garrotxa’s volcanic cones and beech woods reveal a lower, greener side of the eastern foothills. The park includes farms, fields and inhabited places. A short Fageda d’en Jordà walk makes a useful first visit with children; linking several volcanoes in one day substantially increases both distance and ascent.
