Salines
Bassegoda,
|
|
|
.
The municipalities of Salines Bassegoda make up a third of the
Alt Empordà region. Situated in a triangle in the northeast of
the region, they are the least-known municipalities for both
visitors and the people of the Empordà themselves. This area
enjoys an immense diversity of landscapes and riches, both
cultural and natural. It is this great wealth which makes the
thirty-three BTT routes offered by the Salines Bassegoda B TT
Centre so attractive. |

The mountain landscape dominates the area, having as its
principal elements the massif range of the Salines and the Alta
Garrotxa range with the peaks of Mare de Déu del Mont, Bassegoda,
Montnegre and the Roc de Frausa, with cork and pine trees on
both the sun-facing and shaded faces and groves of oak and
chestnut trees which celebrate the light with their colours. The
river-dominated landscape which forms the basin of the Muga and
Manol gives to the peaks of the mountain alder, cork oak and oak
groves; And in its middle course, following the shape of the
meandering river, there are woods along the banks formed by
alders, ash and poplars along with reed swamps. The terrain is
mainly agricultural, where the reddish ground combines with
basic dry farming, with large extensions of scrubland which hide
a truly impressive dry stone architecture. The Boadella –
Darnius reservoir brings the magic and beauty of water to the
beautiful heart of this territory

|
These natural surroundings are accompanied by architectural
elements such as the those at Palol Sabaldòria, in Vilafant,
the monastery of Sant Llorenç de Sous, in Cabanelles, the
Lladó Collegiate, the many Romanesque churches scattered
around, the dry stone buildings, the modernist architecture
of Casa Estela of Agullana and the social buildings of many
villages. They are examples of the diversity and richness of
the surroundings. To enjoy this scenery by bicycle is a
privilege within our reach
