One of my places in Girona y Costa Brava

Castellfollit de la Roca

Castellfollit de la Roca

Dr. Abdulmajeed Al-MudarraMy tip
“The best view is from below, at the bridge on the road; combine it with Besalú and Olot in one day.”

A village standing on the edge of a basalt volcanic cliff 50 metres high and about a kilometre long, above two rivers, in the Garrotxa volcanic zone; a sight that is hard to believe.

What to see

The basalt cliff seen from the bridge below · the lookout at the church square on the cliff edge · the one street between the stone houses · the green volcanic landscape of the Garrotxa · Besalú a short distance away

How to get there

Teisa bus from Girona (≈1 h) — by car ≈45 min

Easy to reach, needs a car

A viewpoint over the cliff from the N-260 road below the village; a small car park. The village is above it, with short lanes. TEISA buses from Olot/Barcelona are few.
