El Carrer Ample
Geology and forests at Ports de Beseit
The enormous Els Ports massif shows a relief inherited from two tectonic plates collision about sixty million years ago. That huge impact's energy led to deformations in the sediments of an ancient sea that we can still appreciate today. El Carrer Ample is a prodigy of geology, a ravine that torrential waters dug to give us a chance to witness the enormous energy of the Earth.
Once emerging from the depths of the ravine, we'll walk on a ridge that will provide us with a broad view of the massif and return to the starting point through the richness of the threatened forests of Pinus nigra, resistant in the most inaccessible areas.
