Parc de Pedra Tosca, Nature reserve in Les Preses, Spain.
The Parc de Pedra Tosca extends across 2.5 hectares within the Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa Natural Park, featuring distinct geological formations and volcanic stones.
During the 19th century, local farmers stacked volcanic stones to create small cultivation plots, forming a network of paths bordered by dry stone walls.
The park restoration project, executed by RCR architects, represents the transformation of inhospitable volcanic terrain into agricultural land by past generations.
Visitors can access the park daily from June to October except Mondays, with winter openings limited to weekends and holidays from 10:00 until sunset.
The maze of pathways contains restored stone huts that were used for storing farming tools, now standing among oak trees emerging from basalt lava flows.
