If you spend your holidays in Catalonia and you are temporarily fed up with the beaches on the Costa Brava and the city stench of Barcelona, or you just want to enjoy the beautiful views away from the beaten tourist routes, we recommend a trip through the Ter valley, especially around the dam Panta de Sau.Initially, I marked quite a lot of viewpoints on the map, but when planning the trip it turned out that it was not that easy…
