It's a bit secluded, but it's a wonderful space and you have spectacular views of the Fluviá lock as it passes through Crespià. Despite breaking the chain when entering the path, it was well worth it.

Medieval Bridge of Pla de Martís

Highlight • Bridge

Stone bridge with a single arch that crosses the stream that comes out of Lake Espolla. Next to the Martís bridge there is a reproduction of the terminus cross, since the original was destroyed during the Civil War.
