    Tips

    Hiking

    The Croscat volcano and its clay pots are one of the jewels of the La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park. It is the second largest volcano in the Iberian Peninsula, and its last eruption was 11,500 years ago.
    Its particular shape is due to the fact that for 25 years it was dedicated to the exploitation of clay, for the production of bricks and tennis courts.

    Hiking

    This ancient volcano has been excavated for minerals for years until it was halted following protests. Now you can see a beautiful cross section of the volcano and all the layers in it.
    I believe the information center is open between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., there are texts in other languages according to the sign. I was there too early.

    Hiking

    We visited with a tour guide who explained everything in an interesting and informative way. It's a great place to visit on your own, but with a guide you can really learn a lot.
