Parc Nou: A Biodiversity Oasis in the Heart of Olot

At a perfect walking distance from the center of Olot, you can discover an old botanical garden that has become a true sanctuary of biodiversity, hosting an impressive variety of native flora and fauna of the Garrotxa. The Parc Nou in Olot is not just another green space. With its winding paths and shady areas, it offers a tranquil break from urban activity, allowing you to immerse yourself in a world of calm and natural beauty.

The park is also home to Torre Castanys, a modernist building that for many years housed the Volcano Museum, an environmental interpretation space that closed coinciding with the opening of Espai Cràter. Directly in front, an open expanse of natural lawn contrasts with the lushness of the wooded area. Although it is not specifically a recreational space for children, the park offers wide areas and various characteristic elements that will spark the imagination of the young ones.

All these features make visiting Parc Nou essential at any time of the year: in spring, for its greens; in summer, for the shade; in autumn, to observe the colors of the leaves, and in winter, for its peace.
