A place with great history, currently only ruins remain, shuttered to prevent their total collapse. Impressive views from the square at the bottom of the ruins of La Mussara.

Natural crevice called Avencs de la Febro, you need good shoes with heels and, if possible, a headlamp or flashlight. They are cracks 30 meters deep, 300 meters long and 8 meters wide that are just a step away from La Mussara. However, they are hidden by vegetation. Because yes, there are many stories of friends and acquaintances who have had to turn around because they have not been able to find their entrance. That's the fun! Hahaha Els Avencs de La Febró have offered shelter to all types of people. For example, they served as a hiding place for the smuggler Josep Ferrer i Grau and General Prim. Yes, I am talking about Juan Prim i Prats, who, apart from being originally from Reus, would come to occupy the position of President of the Government of Spain in 1869.
