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.

In the Garrotxa Natural Park there are about 40 catalogued volcanoes with 10 well-preserved explosion craters. The Volcá del Croscat is a highly explosive Strombolian volcano. The eruption took place around 9,500 BC. It is the last volcano to erupt in the Garrotxa volcanic area and also in the Iberian Peninsula.
