Olot is the capital city of the comarca of Garrotxa, in the Province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain. Olot is known for its natural landscape, including four volcanoes scattered around the city center. The municipality is part of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park. Olot is also well-known for its cultural activity, with historical art movements like Olot school or imaginery schools, which contributed to the location in the city of the main Design and Arts & Crafts school of the province of Girona, the Escola d'Art i Superior de Disseny d'Olot.
The municipality 29,12 km2 and includes the city of Olot and the town of Batet de la Serra (annexed in 1971). The term is located at 443.4 meters above sea level and is approximately 50 km from Girona, the capital of the province of the same name. It is bordered by Sant Joan les Fonts (north east), Santa Pau (south east), Les Preses (south west), Riudaura (west) and La Vall de Bianya (north west). The municipality consist of the original city of Olot and old towns and neighbourhoods that now form a conurbation around the city (Sant Roc d'Olot, Sant Cristòfol de les Fonts, Sant Andreu del Coll, Closells) apart from different urbanisations (les Fonts, Mas Bernat, les Planoles, etc.) and the old municipality of Batet de la Serra, which was independent until 1971.
Olot is located on a plain surrounded by the mountain ranges of Valentí, Aiguanegra, the plateau of Batet, Marboleny and Sant Valentí de la Pinya. The plain is crossed by the Fluvià river and the Riudaura stream. There are four volcanoes in the city of Olot, called Montolivet, Montsacopa, Garrinada and Bisaroques. The Fluvià discharges 1.07 m3/s into the Mediterranean Sea.
The Montsacopa volcano is one of the main symbols of Olot. It has a cone of volcanic material and a circular crater. From above, a 360º panoramic of the city can be seen. The volcano also has a chapel on its top, dedicated to Saint Francis, and two watchtowers surrounding the crater. The old town, which grew up in the 9th century, has a rich cultural heritage, including the three-storied neo-classical cloister from the Hospici (charity building), the church of la Mare de Déu del Tura (patron of Olot), the Renaissance cloister of El Carme (which is a site of National Cultural Interest), and the Sant Esteve Parish Church, which was built in 1763 and it contains several artistic treasures, including an original El Greco (Christ carrying the Cross). Also in the old town there are examples of Art Nouveau architecture, like the Solà-Morales house.
Olot is a city of artists. Painting, sculpture and ceramics have been the key elements in the art of Olot, not to mention the tradition of the Nativity Scenes (pessebres), and the worldwide famous sculptures of saints. Also of importance is the School of Art, which was created in 1783 and nowadays it is the most important school of arts in the province of Girona (Escola d'Art i Superior de Disseny d'Olot). The artistic tradition of the city can be seen in several museums, being the Museu Comarcal de la Garrotxa the most relevant.
In Olot there are two important natural areas, the Moixina and the Parc Nou, which are characterized by their oak woods, which boast an undestorey of plants that are extremely rare on the south side of the Pyrenees. These woods also inspired many of the painters from the Olot school. With the city being situated in the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, the surrounding area also offers spectacular natural places like the Fageda d'en Jordà (a beech forest with volcanic blisters) or the natural springs of Sant Roc. The city also has a bicycle lane connecting to Girona, which was an old railway.
Olot is also well-known for its local gastronomy. Its main products are the sweet herbal liquor ratafia, the traditional cakes coca de llardons and tortell de matafaluga, the charcuterie from Olot, the Olot potatoes (wafers of potato stuffed with meat, covered in egg and flour, and then deep-fried), and the buckwheat flour. Some of the restaurants of the city have grouped together, offering the so-called volcanic cuisine. From these restaurants is worth to mention Les Cols, which has two Michelin stars.

Barcelona Day Trip -- Dali, volcanoes, and a walled city
We recently spend a week in Barcelona, Spain, exploring the city and the surrounding area.
Day 5, we rented a car and drove to a Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, then hiked into the mouth of an inactive volcano in Olot and saw the sunset from the walled city of Girona.
What a blast, this is our adventure...

and we are standing
inside a volcano right now.
It's the Croscat volcanoe here in la Garrotxa.
What a beautiful area here. Obviously,
the soil super-rich it's super green, definitely a place to come.
And it's very unique because it used to be a quarry so
this is why you can get inside. normally
we go on hike around the volcano just
look into the crater
well it has actually been cut into. So we can see
all of the rock in the Layers. it's
really an incredible place
we are hiking in the garrotxa region of the Pyrenees here in Catalunya
there are twenty five hundred kilometers of hiking trails
so this my friend is the place to hike.
beautiful trip
What we just hiked on here was the actual lava flow itself
And you can do an entire loop that will take about 4 or 5 hours
both volcanoes, hike through here
and then hike along the lava flow. And it's really cool
because it's full of all these beach trees and moss and rocks
It's really a very pleasant walk.
we had a great day today and big thanks to Beth
