Discover the medieval gem that is Santa Pau via a route from Olot!
You’ll begin by crossing the ancient dry-stone walls of the Fageda d’en Jordà forest, until you reach the boundary between Olot and Santa Pau, which is marked by the city’s coat of arms. In Santa Pau, immerse yourself in the town’s medieval architecture, which was first documented in 878. On the way back, you can admire the Cabrioler volcano and the slopes of the Pujou mount before visiting the Moixina wetlands, a source of inspiration for the Olot School of Landscape Painting. This route is suitable for walkers of all levels and offers a glimpse of the history and natural beauty of the zone.

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”.
