The village of Les Planes is actually made up of two small hamlets, Cogolls and Les Encies and was built on a 45,000 year-old lava flow from the nearby Traiter volcano. The surrounding countryside offers a varied landscape ideal for walking and cycling. Several sign-posted routes and trails; the Via Verde (Greenways), the Camino de Santiago (the Pilgrim’s Way to Santiago), the Volcanic Park of La Garrotxa and the GR83 (a long-distance national walking trail) all converge on Les Planes.

Whether you want to stay close to home or venture out exploring, Hotel Can Garay is the perfect base. With over 3300 square meters full of delightful little spots to discover, the centenary gardens of the hotel themselves could keep you busy. The garden bar is open all day, free WiFi means you can stay connected with the outside world, if you wish, or you could choose to unwind, reading in a hammock listening to the soothing sound of the millstone fountain. Sunloungers and garden games ensure we can cater for all ages and levels of activity!
