Turisme Garrotxa

La Garrotxa lies landlocked in Girona region, in north-east Catalonia: for the most part the land is under 600 m a.s.l., although its highest peaks top the 1,500 m mark. Two totally different types of landscapes can be enjoyed in La Garrotxa. On the one hand, over 40 volcanoes and numerous lava flows cover much of the southern half of the comarca and give rise to a rolling landscape – today protected by the La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park – lacking any major relief features.
