Les Cols in Olot, Spain

The restaurant is about a 45 minute drive from Girona and towards the Pyreneese mountains.  Olot lies at the base of  several extinct volcanos and is a vibrant mountain town.  Our meal was excellent and lasted 5 hours!

To see more pictures of Les Cols visit our “gallery” on www.martyjemison.com/gallery.   Try to identify the picture that looks like a white hallway…. Looking closely you see seams in the walls which when pushed reveal the unisex toilets.  We all liked the shape of the mens urinals and hidden doors.
