ラマネールの天然記念物・トップ10

This section accompanies the Sant Aniol stream for a large part of its route. The forest guides you through its course and shows you various waterfalls and crystalline pools. If you go in summer, do not hesitate to take a dip in these wonderful waters.

At 1,373 meters high, the Puig de Bassegoda is located on the border between the regions of La Garrotxa and Alt Empordà. The climb accumulates a lot of positive unevenness in a short distance. For this reason, in the last section it has staples and chains to help itself.

The last section of the Camino Oliba (GR 151) is a magnificent mountain track that goes from Molló to the border with France. Both along the path and at the end point, next to the Puig Sec pools, the views of the Pyrenees are simply spectacular. The green slopes of the mountains contrast with the snow-capped peaks and, in the spring and summer months, with the wildflowers that decorate the meadows.

In the Font del Botàs you can replenish fresh drinking water. The fountain receives this name because it had a system of gates that diverted part of the water to a tank used in many farmhouses to control and distribute the water used to irrigate the fields.

Excellent viewpoint of the entire valley that the Sant Aniol river sculpts. The pass is a bit aerial although there are some chains that help to overcome it.

Its characteristic pointed shape, its height and the fact that it is isolated from other nearby peaks make it easily identifiable. At the foot of the Bassegoda hill on its north-eastern slope, the Borró river, a tributary of the Fluvià, is born. It is actually two peaks separated by a gap. The western one (1363m) is called Taula d'en Gustí and the eastern one (1373m), Taula d'en Sala and is what is properly considered the summit. It seems that the toponym Bassegoda comes from two Basque words: basa, which means 'wilderness, desert', and goiti, which means 'summit, height'; thus Basagoiti would mean 'barren peak', referring to being an absolutely rocky lookout but with excellent 360º views from the Gulf of Roses to Canigó.

Not only a very nice fountain but also a great way to drink a clear and cool drink of water or to replenish the supplies.
