산트 조르디 데스발스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 천연기념물

The Bosc de les Escultures is located less than 30 minutes from the centre of Girona and is a place that connects to different routes in the area. The arrival at this monument is accessible to all people except those in wheelchairs as they cannot move around the terrain. The ideal time to go is in autumn because of the colour that the fallen leaves can provide. The sculptures have a mystical touch, some of them have marbles in their eyes or are painted an intense blue, which gives the sensation that they are really watching you.

Between Verges and Torroella de Montgrí, on the road and rural track on the bank of the Ter river, there is a beautiful hundred-year-old oak tree with good shade, a good place to stop on the way.

The castle of Palagret or Mabarrera is in the middle of the Palagret valley, at the top of a small hill, 178 m high, in the northernmost foothills of the Gavarres massif to the south-east of the Celrà center and to the south- west of Juià. Strategically located to control the Roman-era road that allowed access to Girona from the Baix Empordà through the Gavarres. Important medieval vestiges of the licorella walls of a rectangular construction as well as pre-Romanesque elements are preserved from the castle. The preserved remains could be dated to the 10th and 11th centuries,[1] and its last occupants left the premises between the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th.[2] It is a building in Celrà (Gironès) declared a cultural asset of national interest.

Spectacular viewpoint in Les Gavarres, we can see the Medes Islands. Challenging route from Madremanya.

A very large and bushy oak. A good shade to make a stop to hydrate

It is a tree that is located one kilometer from the Sanctuary of Los Angeles. The surolí is a mixture of cork oak and holm oak and there are some specimens in Las Gavarras. This one in particular was the testimony of a love story: Legend has it that once upon a time there was a couple in love who loved each other very much. They had considered getting married but the boy had to do the service and was assigned far away from his mistress. The girl, sad, prayed to the Mother of God that her beloved would return soon and every time she passed in front of the surolí she threw stones. At the third time, the stone stuck. At the age of three, the boy returned and they were able to get married. From there the tradition was born that all single boys and girls went to the surolí to throw stones at it. They had to throw so many stones for it to stay hooked, so many years would pass until they found a husband or wife.

Beautiful place

The forest itself transmits peace, we believe that autumn is the ideal time for the color that the fallen leaves can bring. The sculptures, in our opinion, have a mystical touch that we really liked. Some of them have marbles in their eyes or are painted a deep blue, it gives the feeling that they are really looking at you. Be careful not to miss any, in the least expected corner you will find one.
