Introduction

The worked on fields in winter, or with a plant that is not grass for cattle, are patato plants.
The potatoes, a result of the subsistence economy of the villages of the valley, has been promoted as a quality product of the Vall de Camprodon following a series of regulations: rotation of farmland, low toxicity plant protection products, etc. Today is a productive complement for the farmers of the valley and stabilizing its permanence.
The rigorous climate, height and characteristics of the soil make the potato to grow slowly and have a long time on the ground, accumulating nutrients and organoleptic qualities. Thus, in each taste we will find the fine taste of the nuts and the aromas of the forest.
In the Vall de Camprodon we grow the Kennebec variety, which allows all kinds of culinary applications. Molló holds a fair the first Sunday in September.
Do you see the town and the bell tower of Santa Cecília de Molló? Also impressive the northern buttress of the Alta Garrotxa. Alongside the path we have found some trees that are not too abundant: it is the goat willow or mountain willow.
