Introduction
The Muntanya d’Ullà is the most westerly part of the Montgrí Massif, with Puig Rodó (308 m) as the highest peak and the second highest in the whole massif after the Montplà.
Like the rest of the Montgrí Massif, it is an elevated block of carbonate rock, with some significant karstic phenomena, such as the cave called the Cau del Duc in Ullà on the south face of the mountain, which you can see from this point, a shelter for people since prehistoric time and you can currently spot some species of bat there.
The common vegetation of the Ullà mountain is thickets of kermes oak with grey-leaved cistus, mastic and gorse, which combined with cliffs form one of the most important habitats for the rare Bonelli’s eagle, as it has been identified as one of its few nesting sites in Catalonia.
