Can Crunayes is on the eastern edge of the Natural Park of the Volcanic Area of the Garrotxa and yet the farmhouse is still within 30 mins of the Costa Brava and its abundance of beaches.
The Natural Park of the Volcanic Area of the Garrotxa is the finest example of volcanic scenery in Spain and one of the most important in Europe. The park extends over an area of 12,000 hectares, within which there are more than 40 volcanic cones and 20 lava flows and places with their own unique landscapes and natural features.
The landscape of the Natural Park consists mainly of woods, which include holm oaks, oaks, beeches and alders amongst others. The flatter areas are dedicated to the cultivation of forage and cereals for livestock and also to pasture areas.
