Croscat, Extinct volcano in Santa Pau, Spain.
The horseshoe-shaped Croscat rises 789 meters above sea level, featuring a crater that extends 600 meters in length and 350 meters in width.
The volcano experienced two separate eruptions, with the first occurring 17,000 years ago and the second taking place approximately 11,500 years ago.
The Natural Park of La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone was established in 1982 following public protests against clay extraction activities at the volcano.
Visitors need to park at designated areas like Can Serra and obtain prior reservations for guided group tours at Can Passavent House entrance.
Mining operations created a remarkable cut on the crater's backside, exposing layers of dark lava and oxidized segments with red and orange colors.
