Day 543 - 09/04/2015 : Sunset in Olot

Not for one minute had we realized such a beauty sunset when we were climbing to Montsacopa. We were impressed by the magnificent view, being Olot below our feet and Montolivet volcano in front of us.

Further on the horizon we saw the mountains belonging to Natural Park and Vall d'en Bas. We remained in the place, where we started to see other people climbing to admire the panorama, until the sun was completely covered and lights started to switch on in the city.

If the visit to Montsacopa has awoken an inter­est in the vol­ca­noes, then we sug­gest you head for Parc Nou where, in the base­ment of the Torre Cas­tanys house, you will find a museum, the Museu dels Vol­cans, that pro­vides an expla­na­tion of the vol­canic phe­nom­ena and nat­ural sys­tems to be found in La Gar­rotxa. In addi­tion, the gar­dens of this ele­gant house are also of inter­est and this 4- ​ha green lung, replete with ele­ments of clas­si­cal Eng­lish land­scape gar­den­ing, mature stands of native trees and a gar­den of med­i­c­i­nal plants, is an excel­lent spot in which to relax and take a rest from sight-​seeing.

Amazing !
