La Botjosa salt dump

Highlight • Structure

Mountain of saline and other waste created between 1945 and 1977.
The La Botjosa salt dump measures 775 meters long by an average width of 150 meters, occupies 13.5 Ha and its content is estimated at around 4 million tons of salty waste.

Since the start of the new Cogulló dump in 1977, the potash mining of Sallent and Balsareny stopped dumping saline waste in La Botjosa. Since then, a considerable portion of the saline residues dumped in the La Botjosa dump has disappeared by dissolution in rainwater and air humidity, as evidenced by the geomorphologies in lapiaz on the slopes and dame coiffée where an object acting as an umbrella has protected the salt below

Agulla Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Located on the northern edge of the town of Manresa, the Parc de l'Argulla marked for us the end of the Catalunya Trail. This was a great place to end a ride and stop by the bar for a celebratory beer, with plenty of room for bikes and without having to navigate the urban traffic. We even followed the GR3 route straight there which was traffic-free along the river.

Ermita de Sant Francesc

Highlight • Religious Site

It is a curious religious building, very old and partially rebuilt in a "modern" plan, with an avant-garde design. I don't understand anything about architecture, but the way in which the old and the modern merge, both because of the infrastructure itself, and because of the combination of materials, modern elements such as glass and cement, with the stone walls, catches my attention. originals. Too bad I spent the night there and couldn't appreciate all its beauty... 🤷🏼‍♂️
