We highlight its historic center, where you will discover several <strong>modernist buildings<\/strong>, and various temples such as <strong>the church of Sant Esteve<\/strong> in Gothic style. We also recommend you visit the <strong>Museo Comarcal de la Garrotxa<\/strong>. There you will learn about the history of the area, and go to the <strong>market to taste the local products<\/strong> and enjoy the lively atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olot is home to one of the main attractions of tourist interest in Garrotxa. We are speaking of the <strong>Montascopa volcano<\/strong>, located next to the old town. In a few minutes you can reach the top to enjoy the views of the city and see the crater that hides there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter

Croscat volcano<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many things to do and see in Garrotxa, but nothing like the Croscat Volcano. It is located in the <strong>Natural Park of the Volcanic Zone of the Garrotxa<\/strong>. It is the highest volcanic cone in the Iberian Peninsula and is distinguished by the colorful layers that show the volcanic history of the area. These layers are visible due to a clay mining that stopped years ago. You can leave your car in the Santa Margarida parking lot, which is a half-hour walk from the volcano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Besalu-the-town-to-visit-in-Garrotxa\"><\/span>5. Besal\u00fa, the town to visit in Garrotxa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of the village of Besal\u00fa dates back to the 10th century. However, it is really famous for its impressive <strong>12th century Romanesque bridge<\/strong>, which crosses the river Fluvi\u00e0. We recommend spending a morning in this pretty village strolling along its<strong> cobbled streets or along the riverbank<\/strong> and visiting its<strong> historic buildings, <\/strong>such as the<strong> church of Santa Maria<\/strong>. Other points of interest in Besal\u00fa are the<strong> Monastery of Sant Pere and the Circusland museum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"27328\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/spain\/things-to-do-garrotxa\/attachment\/travel-to-besalu-garrotxa-spain\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/travel-to-Besalu-garrotxa-spain.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"travel-to-Besalu-garrotxa-spain\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/travel-to-Besalu-garrotxa-spain.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/travel-to-Besalu-garrotxa-spain.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/travel-to-Besalu-garrotxa-spain.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Things to do in Garrotxa\" class=\"wp-image-27328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/travel-to-Besalu-garrotxa-spain.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/travel-to-Besalu-garrotxa-spain.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/travel-to-Besalu-garrotxa-spain.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Besalu @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-garrotxa-beyond-volcanoes-slow-travel-experiences-travelers-love\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Garrotxa-beyond-volcanoes-slow-travel-experiences-travelers-love\"><\/span>Garrotxa beyond volcanoes: slow travel experiences travelers love<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While most visitors come to Garrotxa for its volcanoes, many travelers end up appreciating the region for its slower pace and rural charm. Reviews often mention walking between medieval villages, stopping at local bakeries, and enjoying long lunches with regional dishes as unexpected highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelers frequently recommend exploring Garrotxa without a packed itinerary. Simple activities like forest walks, cycling quiet country roads, or visiting local markets are often described as the most memorable moments. Families and couples alike note that the area feels peaceful even during peak seasons, especially when staying outside the main towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Garrotxa is often recommended for travelers who enjoy nature paired with culture, and who prefer relaxed exploration over sightseeing marathons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-around-Garrotxa\"><\/span>What to see around Garrotxa?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-La-Cerdanya\"><\/span>1.

And you can enjoy nature in the <strong>Natural Parks of the Volcanic Zone and Alta Garrotxa<\/strong>. There are many hiking trails for all levels, perfect to go with the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area is very well prepared for tourism, and you will find parking areas at the entrances to the forests or natural parks to leave your car. However, keep in mind that the area is not particularly well served by public transport. So,<strong> it is best to get around in your own car.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-and-what-to-eat-in-garrotxa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-and-what-to-eat-in-Garrotxa\"><\/span>Where and what to eat in Garrotxa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The gastronomy of Garrotxa is rich and varied<\/strong>, and has traditional dishes that reflect the identity and ingredients of the region. Some of the most famous dishes are the <strong>Fesols de Santa Pau (white bean stew), Cargols a la llauna (snails), various sausages and mushrooms. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a pleasure to eat in their restaurants so we recommend to treat yourself at one of these sites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ca Font<\/strong>: is a simple, unpretentious restaurant serving traditional Catalan food. Breakfast is great and the price is very affordable, about 15\u20ac per person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Restaurant l&#8217;Hostalet:<\/strong> is a little more sophisticated than the previous one and therefore a little more expensive, but it is worth it for the quality of its ingredients and its exquisite dishes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ca l&#8217;Enric: <\/strong>This is a restaurant with a Michelin star where you can try Catalan cuisine from a modern and original perspective. The price can reach 100\u20ac, but if you are a lover of gastronomy you can not miss it. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" data-attachment-id=\"27330\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/spain\/things-to-do-garrotxa\/attachment\/traveling-to-catalonia-spain\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/traveling-to-catalonia-spain.jpeg?fit=1024%2C686&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,686\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"traveling-to-catalonia-spain\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/traveling-to-catalonia-spain.jpeg?fit=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/traveling-to-catalonia-spain.jpeg?fit=1024%2C686&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/traveling-to-catalonia-spain.jpeg?resize=1024%2C686&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Things to do in Garrotxa\" class=\"wp-image-27330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/traveling-to-catalonia-spain.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/traveling-to-catalonia-spain.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/traveling-to-catalonia-spain.jpeg?resize=768%2C515&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Garrotxa Natural Park @grandtourdecatalunya<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-stay-in-Garrotxa\"><\/span>Where to stay in Garrotxa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Garrotxa you will find a wide selection of rural accommodation for all tastes and budgets. There are campsites, hostels, rural and luxury hotels, apartments and many other options in the area. Of course, it is <strong>recommendable to book in advance<\/strong>, especially during the summer months and local events and festivities. Here&#8217;s a list of some suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hotel Rural &amp; Spa Mas Prat:<\/strong> is located in the mountain village of Castellar de la Muntanya, on the outskirts of the Garrotxa nature reserve, and is one of the accommodations with the best views of the region. All rooms have their own balcony and there is also a swimming pool and spa. The price per night starts at 190\u20ac and breakfast is included.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hotel Mas la Ferreria: <\/strong>Located in La Vall de Bianya, this 4-star rural hotel is a unique place to stay among nature. It has a swimming pool, bar and breakfast is included in the price, which starts at 200\u20ac. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alberg Restaurant Bellavista:<\/strong> is an economical option to travel to Garrotxa. It is in San Pau and has an outdoor pool, free private parking, garden and shared lounge. It also has a shared kitchen, terrace and bar. The night on a bunk bed costs about 45\u20ac. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-to-garrotxa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-to-Garrotxa\"><\/span>How to get to Garrotxa? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving between the points of interest of Garrotxa without your own vehicle can be a bit complicated, so <strong>our recommendation is to go by car<\/strong>. Public transport in the area is not very frequent, so this is the only option if you don&#8217;t want to rely on organized excursions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the itineraries we recommend depending on how you travel. <strong>If you travel by train or plane you will arrive in Girona or Barcelona.<\/strong> From there you can take a <strong>bus, cab or regional train,<\/strong> but the easiest way is to rent a car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
