Castellfollit de la Roca is one of Spain's most stunning villages, perched dramatically atop a 50-meter-high basalt cliff formed by ancient volcanic lava flows.
The village, located in Catalonia, spans less than 1 square kilometer, making it one of the smallest municipalities in the region.
Its historic center is characterized by narrow, cobblestone streets and charming medieval buildings constructed with volcanic rock, blending seamlessly with the natural landscape.
From the viewpoint at the Sant Salvador Church, visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the confluence of the Fluvià and Toronell rivers below.
The basalt cliff that Castellfollit de la Roca sits on is a geological marvel, created by overlapping lava flows from two different volcanic eruptions over thousands of years.
