Mollo

  • Mollo, Catalan Pyrenees

Mollo links Camprodon valley with France through the old pass of Coll d’Ares. From that point there is a wonderful view of the neighbouring country. Fabert and Espinavell hamlets are annexed to the village of Mollo. In these two villages every 13th of October the traditional and popular tria de Mulats (mixed cattle choice) takes place.

Mollo has been a passing through land of feudal lords and dependence on the monasteries since the time of the Celts and the Romans (documented in the 10th century with the name of Mollione). Periods of power and wars, a land for the prosperity of witches, fairies and all the beliefs that lived in the Canigó mountains, which has managed to keep its identity. You get out from Mollo towards Favars, where you find Can Gassiot housing development. At the end, the cattle track leads you to the shrine of Sta. Magdalena starts. Contemplate the environment that surrounds you along the way.
