What should we know about La Garrotxa?

La Garrotxa , also known by its Spanish name " La Garrocha " or by the motto "the land of volcanoes", is a Catalan region located in the province of Girona . It borders with regions as well known as: Ripollès, Osona or Alto Ampurdán. Likewise, it also borders the Vellaspir region located in the south of France.                                         

The capital of this region is Olot , it is made up of a total of 21 municipalities and has a total area of approximately 735 square kilometers . Some of the most recognized towns are: Las Planas, Besalú, Olot or Vall de Bas .                           

Referring to its location in Catalonia, it is located to the north , bordering the south of France . We can access this region using different means of transport. The most common methods are:


Car. We can easily access the region from the C-37 road .

Bus. Buses leave from the main nearby cities : Barcelona, Girona, Vic, Ripoll, etc.

Plane. We can get to Barcelona airport (BCN) located 120 kilometers from the region or Girona airport (GRO) located just 29 kilometers away. Like other regions, it is divided into two.


On the one hand, we can find the Alta Garrotxa distinguished by its valleys surrounded by high rocky mountains and, on the other hand, the Baja Garrotxa which is characterized by the valleys formed due to the volcanic activity in the area .

One of the most spectacular and best-known volcanic landscapes in Catalonia and even on the peninsula is located in this region . As we will detail later, the natural park of the La Garrocha Volcanic Zone has approximately 39 volcanoes spread over 153 square kilometers.

In addition, thanks to the fact that the climate is humid and there are different types of land and altitudes, we can find all kinds of flora and fauna .

The 5 towns that you must visit before

If you have ever visited the area, you will have noticed that there are many municipalities of medieval origin that have roads, hermitages and other types of constructions of Romanesque origin.

We believe that you cannot leave the region without having visited one of these towns:                                         


Olot (capital of the region). It is part of the natural park of the Volcanic Zone of La Garrocha and this makes it of great natural interest. If you want to visit a city of volcanoes, it is a must, since it is known by many as " the city of volcanoes ." Likewise, like the rest of the municipalities in the area, it is also known for having a wide natural heritage. You can visit the Convent of Carmen dating from the 16th century or the Casa Gaietà Vila which, although it was built in the 20th century, has medieval details.

Besalú . If we talk about towns with medieval origin, this is one of the best known in the region. Different structures can be clearly seen that correspond to the constructions of the Middle Ages. The best known are: the bridge that crosses the Fluviá river that has a fortified portal, the monastery of San Pedro de Besalú founded in 977, the Jewish baths or miqvé and the church of Hospital de San Julián .

Vall de Bas (La Vall d'en Bas). It is a town that includes, among others, the following towns: El Mallol, Sant Privat d'en Bas, Hostalets d'en Bas, Sant Esteve d'en Bas and Joanetes. All of them are known to have medieval origin and have various architectural structures from the Middle Ages.

San Juan les Fonts (Sant Joan les Fonts). Like Olot, it is part of the natural park of the La Garrocha Volcanic Zone and this makes it have wonderful natural landscapes. If you go to this town, we recommend that you visit the Monastery of San Joan les Fonts, the medieval Bridge and the Canadell Tower.

Las Planas (Les Planes d'Hostoles). This town located between the valleys of Cogolls and Hostoles offers you the possibility of visiting different medieval places such as, for example, the Church of Santa María de les Encines from the year 1155, the Church of San Pedro from the year 1207 or the Church of San Cirstóbal of Cogolls from the year 986.


Also, if what you like are medieval towns, we recommend that you also visit the following: Castellfullit de la Roca (Castellfollit de la Roca) and Santa Pau.

What to do during our stay in the Garrotxa region?

This region is ideal both for people who like natural landscapes formed by volcanoes and for people who want to see buildings from the Middle Ages.

We recommend that you do any of the following activities if you are in the area:


Visit the Natural Park of La Garrocha Volcanic Zone. In this park we can count up to 39 volcanoes among which are Mostacopa and Santa Margarita. At the latter we can ascend to the crater and visit the hermitage of Santa Margarita that is right there. The walk from the parking lot lasts approximately 20 minutes.

Visit medieval towns. As we have been commenting, La Garrotxa is also characterized by its medieval villages. We recommend that you do a route that passes through the different municipalities of Vall de Bas , Castellfullit de la Roca and Santa Pau.

Bicycle routes. If you like to do sport with the mountain bike, we recommend the route that goes from Olot to Sant Esteve d'en Bas. The total route is more or less 10 kilometers and you can do it alone or with your family.

Hiking routes. If you like hiking more than cycling, we recommend the Sant Aniol d'Aguja route. It has a total of 16 kilometers and upon arrival you will see the hermitage of Sant Aniol d'Aguja.

Fly in a balloon. Going on a balloon excursion is one of the best ways to see the natural park and all the volcanoes.


Although these are the activities we like the most, you can also visit farms, do adventure sports, ride horses, travel on the tourist train, see different museums and do escape room activities.

Frequent questions

How much does a rural house cost in La Garrotxa?

In La Garrotxa, prices per person per night at weekends start around €25 in cabins and apartments, range between €30 and €45 in family farmhouses with a pool, and go up to €55–€65 in exclusive houses with a jacuzzi, games room, or heated pool. Prices drop during the week and in low season (November, February, March). Booking several months in advance gives you access to the most popular houses for August and bank holidays.

What are the main rural tourism areas to visit in la Garrotxa?

The essentials are the Volcanic Zone Natural Park (featuring the Croscat and Santa Margarida volcanoes), the Fageda d’en Jordà —the most famous beech forest in the peninsula—, the medieval town of Besalú with its Romanesque bridge, Castellfollit de la Roca perched on a basalt cliff, Olot as the capital, and Santa Pau, a medieval village within the natural park. All are within a 30-minute drive of each other.

Which are the most visited villages in La Garrotxa?

Besalú stands out for its fortified bridge and 12th-century Jewish baths. Castellfollit de la Roca has one of the most photographed viewpoints in Catalonia. Olot, the county capital, offers museums, Modernist architecture, and direct access to several volcanoes. Santa Pau is a medieval complex inside the Natural Park. La Vall d’en Bas brings together small hamlets like Sant Privat or Hostalets d’en Bas, ideal for staying away from the hustle and bustle.

Which natural destinations should I not miss in La Garrotxa?

Four classic stops: the Croscat Volcano (the last eruption on the peninsula), the Santa Margarida crater with its chapel inside, the Fageda d’en Jordà for walking among century-old beech trees, and the Puigsacalm peak for 360º views of the Pyrenees. For something less crowded, try the Sant Aniol d’Aguja trail in Alta Garrotxa or the Sadernes area with its natural swimming holes in summer.

What types of rural houses are most sought after in La Garrotxa?

The most frequent searches are: houses with a pool (especially from May to September), pet-friendly houses, houses for large groups of 12 or more, charming rustic farmhouses for couples, and family houses with enclosed gardens for children. Many houses in Garrotxa combine several of these features at once.

Those with the "Instant Booking" seal are confirmed immediately by card — the rest undergo owner validation within a maximum of 24 hours.

Can I bring my dog to a rural house in La Garrotxa?

Yes. Use the "Pets allowed" filter in the search engine to see available houses. La Garrotxa is particularly dog-friendly: many trails in the Natural Park and almost all volcano routes are suitable for leashed pets. Some owners charge a small extra cleaning fee; this is indicated on each property page.

How far is La Garrotxa from Barcelona and Girona?

Olot is about 120 km from Barcelona (1h 30 min via C-17 and A-26) and 55 km from Girona (40 min via N-260). It is 50 minutes by car from Girona airport. The C-37 road is the natural entrance from the south. There are direct buses from Barcelona Estació del Nord and from Girona several times a day.

When is the best time to visit La Garrotxa?

Autumn is the peak season: the Fageda d’en Jordà turns red and gold between late October and early November. Spring (April–May) is excellent for hiking with mild temperatures and fewer crowds. Summer is perfect if the house has a pool, though August gets busy. Winter is quiet and affordable, ideal for cozy getaways with a fireplace.

What to do in La Garrotxa with children if it rains?

There are several indoor options: the Volcano Museum in Olot, the Cinema Museum in Girona (40 min away), the underground galleries of Bosc de Tosca, guided tours of Besalú and its Jewish baths, bakery workshops at farm schools like Mas el Bassiol, or the Olot tourist train. Many rural houses offer a games room, fireplace, and indoor children's area.
