Experience Olot at its most authentic through its gastronomy, architectural heritage and museums.
Our proposed route begins at the former Sant Jaume hospital and continues via the magnificent Can Trincheria house-museum, Sant Esteve church, the Sant Esteve treasury-museum, and Olot’s Teatre Principal. It continues via the Plaça de Braus (the bullring), the cloister of the Carmen Convent, the Mare de Déu del Tura church, the Garrotxa Museum and the Museum of the Saints. At this point, make the most of the route by stopping off at the bars and restaurants, where you can sample the local gastronomy, and then continue through the Plaça Josep Clarà, via the Torre Malagrida and its surrounding neighbourhood, along the Passeig de Sant Roc and over its eponymous bridge, until you reach Parc Nou.

Modernism is a cultural, literary and artistic movement that emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and swept throughout the whole of Western society. In Catalonia, however, Modernism (or Modernisme in Catalan) became a broader movement that also came to encompass politics and the economy, giving rise to what is now known specifically as “Catalan Modernism”.
