Tosca Forest

Tosca Forest

In the midst of the best example of volcanism in the Iberian Peninsula, the Tosca forest is a mosaic of crops and brushwoods, a harmonious landscape that has inspired part of the work of the Olot pictorial school, an artistic reference in Catalan landscaping. An ancient forest and stone, thrown out of the bowels of the earth, give this space its name, a paradigm of the balance between conservation and development.

Tosca Forest

Its name refers to the oak grove that was there and it was felled in the early nineteenth century to obtain lumber and coal. Subsequently, the small-scale distribution transformed the space into a mosaic of small farms delimited by dry stone walls, called ‘artigues’. These walls and other rural buildings we find are made of pumice, the volcanic rock that characterises the area.
