On Tourist Trap (A trap?): Moreover, "pots" means "you can" in Catalan. So, I agree with you and also ask "what to do?"

Useful tip from La Garrotxa. If you come to this region another time, I recommend that you visit Olot and, close to Olot, Sant Privat, in the middle of the forest.

Very nice overview of Cataluyna. I'm sorry I missed some of those off the beaten paths! Another good reason to rent a car.
