Faberllull Olot is a residency managed by the Institut Ramon Llull in collaboration with Olot's town council located at the Hotel Fluvià, in Olot (la Garrotxa, Catalonia), from where you can see Serra del Corb and Puigsacalm. Opened in 2016, it was the first residence of the Faberllull residencies network.
