The village of El Mallol, in the Vall d’en Bas, is one of the most distinctive historic sites in La Garrotxa. Of medieval origin, this small settlement preserves the structure of a fortified village, with remains of walls and a network of narrow streets that recall its defensive past.

The stone houses, arranged along the slope, adapt to the terrain and create a townscape full of character. At the top of the village, the church of Sant Bartomeu serves as a focal point and offers a privileged view over the surrounding valley.

Walking through El Mallol means stepping into a calm and history-filled atmosphere. It is a place that invites visitors to discover the heritage-rich side of La Garrotxa, where architecture and landscape come together to create a unique and evocative experience.
