Catalonia\u2019s Volcanoes <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you think about Catalonia, what comes to mind? Sightseeing vacations in Barcelona<\/a>, enjoying the hustle and bustle of the city? Luxury villas with private pool on the Costa Brava<\/a>? How about\u2026 volcanoes? While we often think of Catalonia as being a very coastal and seaside-y place, it\u2019s important not to forget about the region\u2019s other side; the side that\u2019s a bit wild, a bit unkempt, and very, very unpredictable! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volcanoes in Catalonia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is understood that there were once around 30 volcanoes in and around the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, but today there are just 4 which remain visually identifiable as volcanoes, with the rest having been absorbed into the local woodland. Book a Catalonia vacation rental<\/a> in the small town of Olot for a chance to see the volcanoes \u2014 Montolivet, Montsacopa, Garrinada, and Bisaroques \u2014 in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Symbol of Catalonia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of these 4 volcanoes, Montsacopa tends to\nbe the most popular amongst visitors on holiday in Spain. That\u2019s because\nthis volcano is one of the best preserved in the region, with the classic cone\nand crater structure. There are numerous hiking and biking trails all across\nthe volcano \u2014 and the other local volcanoes \u2014 but don\u2019t worry; there hasn\u2019t\nbeen any volcanic activity here for around 12,000 years! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volcanic Weather<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the many volcanoes and mountains\nin the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park area, the weather here isn\u2019t quite\nstereotypical for Spain. It tends to be very hot, very wet, and incredibly\nhumid, which can make it a little uncomfortable for some people. If you want to\nlearn more about Catalonia\u2019s volcanoes without hiking them in the heat, why not\nvisit the Museum of the Volcanoes in Olot? This is a great place to understand\nmore about volcanic activity, and how it has affected the flora and fauna of\nthe region. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
