The spring landscapes have arrived in La Garrotxa. After weeks of rain, nature has awakened again. The fields are green, the trees are full of leaves and the rapeseed paints the landscape an intense yellow that can be seen from afar.
This area is known for its great variety of landscapes. On the plain, we find fields of crops and villages. On the sunnier slopes, forests of oaks and holm oaks predominate. And in wetter places, such as the Fageda d’en Jordà, the beech is the main tree, creating a leafy and fresh forest.
With spring, this entire environment is transformed. Trees sprout vigorously, wildflowers cover the edges of the paths and the greenery is more intense than ever. It is an ideal time to see the diversity of natural landscapes.
Within this rich and varied natural environment, one of the most unique elements are the volcanoes. La Garrotxa has more than forty volcanic cones and several lava flows that have shaped the current landscape. Some of them, such as the Santa Margarida volcano or Croscat. These volcanoes create a unique landscape in Catalonia that combines geology, nature and history.
And there is no better way to enjoy these spring landscapes than with a hot air balloon flight. From the air, you can see all of La Garrotxa, with its yellow rapeseed fields, green forests and volcanoes that define this territory. It is a peaceful, safe activity and suitable for everyone. In addition, the views at this time of year are spectacular.
If you are looking for a different experience, connected to nature and full of colors, spring is the best time to discover La Garrotxa from the sky.
