While there are plenty of popular holiday destinations in the world, a few have yet to be discovered enough by travel enthusiasts. One such intriguing destination is located in Spain. However, millions of people who head to Spain every year for their holiday stick to well-known places like Madrid, Barcelona, Tenerife and Lanzarote and do not explore the hidden gems like Castellfollit de la Roca – a narrow hilltop village in Catalan.
The small village is located on the outskirts of a nature reserve in the region known as La Garrotxa Volcanic Area Nature Reserve. Rustical Travel, a travel blog that focuses on writing about undiscovered parts of Spain, noted, “La Garrotxa is one of Catalonia’s natural wonders.” “If we had to choose one exceptionally beautiful and unspoilt natural area in Spain, the entire Garrotxa region would be a strong candidate,” he added.
The reason why the village needs a special mention is that the national park is home to more than 40 volcanoes. However, these volcanoes are not active anymore. It is the cones, vegetation and landscapes of the region that lure travellers to the region. As far as the activities in the volcanic park are concerned, one can indulge in walking hiking and cycling, with plenty of other routes for physical fitness. Besides, the park also has a huge cascading waterfall, Salto del Molí dels Murris. It is considered one of the park’s best-kept secrets.
In addition to exploring the natural scenery, travel bloggers also encourage visitors to go to the hilltop village of Castellfollit de la Roca which is the most picturesque in Catalonia. The village is located between the Fluviá and Toronell Rivers. Interestingly, the village features a few parts that date back to the Middle Ages, adding to the appeal of the destination. Both the Spanish village and the national park are gradually being highlighted by visitors, encouraging others to explore another wonder on earth. Notably, the closest airport to the destination is Barcelona Airport. It is a two drive from the airport.
