Description
A loop round the Pla de Busa, the great plateau hanging over the Solsonès. We follow the southern cliff, a wall up to 145 metres high and over a kilometre long, and visit the Sant Cristòfol de Busa hermitage, the Presó and the mouths of the sinkholes. Along the way we talk about the geology of the Serra de Bastets and the army that took refuge here during the Peninsular War.
