Serra de Busa i el Capolatell
The mountain range of Busa is one of the main places to visit in La Vall de Lord. Its curious relief converts this point to one of the most singular places around the valley, offering a spectacular panoramic views.
Historically, during the Peninsular War (1808-1814), this mountain housed more than a thousand of soldiers which were distributed along the plain. Nowadays, it still exists a farmhouse known as “Ca l’Artiller” (artillery home). Additionally, this point was the first place where the constitution of 1812 was proclaimed, after Cádiz.
The main places in Busa mountain range:
– El Capolatell: also known as a Busa’s prison, because, during the Peninsular War, this point was used as a natural prison.
– El Cògul: it is the highest point of Busa mountain range (1526 m.)
