ITINERÀNNIA, NETWORK OF TRAILS “Itinerànnia” is a network of trails, with over 2500 kilometres between the neighbouring regions of “Ripollès”, “Garrotxa” and “Alt Empordà”. A network of hiking trails is like a road map, but with footpaths, allowing the hiker to get from any one point to another. It retrieves the old historic roads between the villages to reach many small places.

When you reach signpost A1 Morató, keep left along the metalled road to signpost A2 Font de Morató, where you should turn right down the dirt track to the Garell installations. Here you will find an information board indicating the route to the Garrell Park. Welcome to Garrell Park. ‘Garrell’ was the artistic name by which Josep Pujiula i Vila (Barri del Pont, Argelaguer 1937– Argelaguer 2016), a self-taught inventor but turner by profession until he retired in 1999, was known. This site is also known as the Cabanes d’Argelaguer. Garrell created here a highly personal world populated by tall wooden huts and towers, wells and water courses, and took advantage of the construction of the Argelaguer bypass and the left-over materials to create the Font de la Riera de Can Sis Rals, a surreal installation catalogued as a Cultural Site of Local Interest. Garrell’s art can be described as ‘land art’ o art povera (‘poor art’) since he used his surroundings and recycled material to create spaces and installations in between the
