Why La Garrotxa is a Special Place for Nature Lovers
La Garrotxa is a beautiful place in Spain with big green forests, rolling hills, and even old volcanoes! It’s a great place for people who love nature and animals. Not many tourists know about it, which makes it extra special. It’s close to the Pyrenees mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, so you get the best of both worlds—mountains and beaches!
Mas Campassol: A Home for People and Animals
Mas Campassol is a vegan guesthouse where people can stay and enjoy nature while also helping animals. It’s in the La Garrotxa Natural Park, surrounded by trees, mountains, and lots of wildlife. The guesthouse is part of a special project called the Empathy Foundation, which rescues and takes care of animals. People who stay here get to relax, eat delicious vegan food, and learn about how to take care of nature.
