La Punta de L’Aqua from Mas de Satorres
The Punta de L’Aigua is a haughty and dominant top, with beautiful form and a characteristic profile with two clear ends that make it easily identifiable from many places. Arguably one of the most beautiful mountains in Els Ports.
This itinerary, although not the most direct one, allows us to see some very interesting corners like the remote depression the Vacarissal, the “masos” of Fandos and Capella, which are in ruins and surrounded by old cultivated fields and with views of the Roques de Benet.
