From 1895, Amer was linked to Girona by the narrow gauge Olot–Girona railway, which was extended to Les Planes d'Hostoles in 1900, Sant Feliu de Pallerols in 1902 and Olot in 1911. The line closed in 1969 and has since been converted into a greenway.

    Fields in bloom and good walking temperatures.

  • Summer

    Hot at midday; festivals tend to cluster in these months.

  • Autumn

    Golden light, mushroom season and fewer visitors.

  • Winter

    Cold and short days. Life gathers in the bar and the square.
