Day 567 - 03/05/2015 : A unique landscape

Castellfollit is a town with almost 1000 inhabitants and less than 1 kilometer square of area which results of being one of the smallest villages in Catalonia.

What makes unique Castellfollit is the fact of being located above of a basaltic cliff, its houses and the church
seem floating in the air just in the edge of the cliff and not only is one of the most photographed landscapes in the country but also it's a fantastic natural viewpoint where you can see the valleys from Fluviíà and Toronell rivers.

The basaltic cliff where the town is settled has more than 50 meter height and almost 1 kilometer length, it was originated due to the action of Fluvià and Toronell rivers against the lava flows that came from volcanic eruptions occurred thousand of years ago.


Interesting !
