加泰罗尼亚式的悬念 A Catalan cliffhanger

富利特堡-德拉罗卡，加泰罗尼亚，西班牙

坐落在玄武岩悬崖边上的小镇，眺望着脚下奔流不息的河流。今天的照片展示的是西班牙东北部加泰罗尼亚地区的富利特堡-德拉罗卡。这个小镇并不适合胆小的人：从160英尺高的悬崖上向下俯瞰，托罗内尔河和弗鲁维亚河在悬崖底部汇合。许多建筑都是由小镇所在的玄武岩建造而成，似乎就在悬崖边上岌岌可危。图为位于峭壁尽头的13世纪圣萨尔瓦多教堂。

富利特堡-德拉罗卡位于拉加罗克萨火山区自然公园内，该公园包含大约40座死火山。尽管在约11000年的时间里没有喷发，但该地区仍然被认为是地震活跃区。1428年，一场大地震袭击了该地区，50多英里外的巴塞罗那都有震感。上一次地震活动是在1901年和1902年，当时发生了两次小地震。如今，这个公园是远足者的热门景点，人们纷纷前往拉加罗克萨欣赏该地区壮观的火山景观。

Castellfollit de la Roca, Catalonia, Spain

Perched on the edge of a basalt cliff above two rivers, today's image takes us to Castellfollit de la Roca, in the Spanish region of Catalonia. This town is not for the faint-hearted: There's a 160-foot drop down to the Toronell and Fluvia rivers, which converge at the base of the cliff. Many of the buildings, which are made of the same basalt that the town stands on, seem to teeter on the edge of the precipice. Pictured at the end of the crag is the 13th-century church of Sant Salvador.

Castellfollit de la Roca is inside the Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa Natural Park, which contains around 40 extinct volcanoes. Although there haven't been any eruptions for around 11,000 years, the area is still considered seismically active. In 1428, a major earthquake struck the area, which was felt in Barcelona, over 50 miles away. The last seismic activity was registered in 1901 and 1902, when there were two minor earthquakes. These days, the park is a popular spot among hikers, who head to Garrotxa to enjoy the region's spectacular volcanic landscapes.
