The Capsacosta<br />

road<br />
La Vall de<br />
Bianya<br />
Capsacosta Roman road<br />
Olot<br />
A good way of reaching La Vall de Bianya is to walk the<br />
Capsacosta Roman road. Transited since time immemorial,<br />
in recent years this road was used to drive cattle<br />
in summer to their high Pyrenean pastures. Constructed<br />
by the Romans as a branch of the great Via Augusta<br />
that led from Rome across the Pyrenees and into<br />
southern Spain, it was once the only link between the<br />
valleys of Bianya and Camprodon.<br />
The only remaining Roman part of this road that still<br />
exists is a 8-km stretch that runs from Sant Pau de<br />
Segúries (in El Ripollès) to the Pas dels Traginers in La<br />
Vall de Bianya (La <strong>Garrotxa</strong>). Nevertheless, a lot of this<br />
stretch is still paved and the gutters, bridges, water<br />
deposits, and associated quarries and hostels are still<br />
perfectly visible.<br />
Walk this route with its many hidden charms and travel<br />
back 2,000 years in time!<br />
