Hidden gem. Access is tricky which means few people reach it - you’re likely to be alone. This is a the third and last wild swimming spot along the road from the parking. Majority of people stop at Gorg del Salt which is the biggest pool and accessible by asphalt road. Next one is toll del Blavet which already requires a bit of hiking. Funny story: first time we went, we weren’t sure how to reach the place so we asked a couple we met on the trail. They told us there’s nothing here and that what we’re looking for is Gorg del Salt. When we asked where they’re going, they said they’re just hiking. Still, we knew the place was a thing and we persevered. Eventually we found a path and came across another couple who were also heading there. Guess who was already swimming when we arrived: the first couple! They lied to us straight faced just so they can have the place to themselves.
