Nice viewpoint over Busot and surroundings. The castle is not much but it is very accessible and free so it is worth walking up.

A really great view! In contrast to the CV-770, the CV-778 is a quieter route, especially in the region around the Raco del Pas. I use this section for the descent on the way back from Port de Tudons. Not very busy and therefore plenty of opportunities for great photos. The landscape with the many green hills, terraced fields and the view all the way to the sea makes every trip worthwhile. The area has some challenging climbs, but the view makes up for the effort.
