On the eastern shore of the lake, Porqueres is a borough of small villages with a magnificent Romanesque church, the shrine of Sant Patllari, a dolmen and Les Estunes Forest, which contains eerie and mysterious rock formations.
To the north, lies Esponellà, with a large medieval bridge; Palol de Revardit, with a fortified castle; and Crespià, famous for its beautiful Romanesque church and delicious honey.
A visit to the prehistoric caves in Serinyà completes the route.
