Fageda d'en Jordà, Beech forest in Santa Pau, Spain.
The Fageda d'en Jordà forest spans across 5 square kilometers, featuring medium and large beech trees growing on flat volcanic terrain at 550 meters elevation.
The forest grows on lava flows from the Croscat volcano, which experienced two major eruptions 17,000 and 11,000 years ago, forming the current landscape.
A stone monument stands at the forest entrance commemorating Joan Maragall, whose poetry brought attention to this natural space in Catalonia.
The forest maintains a network of marked walking paths through the beech trees, with paid parking areas available near the main entrance points.
La Fageda cooperative operates within the forest boundaries, producing dairy products while providing employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
