Small town of 36 inhabitants located at the foot of the Lighthouse. There are many mountain bike routes from all over the Guilleries area.

Unfortunately locked! - But beautifully restored interior! Not what you'd expect from the outside!

Departure and arrival point for mountain biking, asphalted road reaches here. In the social place they serve views, coffees and you can even stay for lunch. There is a grill and you buy the meat you want to cook there. Of course, at the weekend and always after queuing for a while.

The Church of Sant Martí Sacalm is a work of Susqueda (Selva) protected as a cultural asset of local interest. In the small town that currently centers the municipality of Susqueda, the parish church of Sant Martí stands out. It is a sober building, with a rectangular nave, with a lowered arch door, bull's eye, triangular pediment and bell tower with a square plant, with four arches, at noon. The entrance door, framed in stone and with a monolithic lintel, stands out for the stone decoration in the form of pinnacles, the vegetal decoration, a monolithic niche in the shape of a shell - currently without an image - and the inscriptions JESUS and MARIA and the date of 1786. In the construction of the facade of the church, two evolutionary phases can be clearly seen, since the roof was lifted off. That's why there are two bull's-eyes, one of stone and the other of tile. On the side facades there are three bull's-eyes framed with tile as openings at the top, before the roof.

Pretty well-preserved Romanesque hermitage with a nice porch at the entrance to shelter from the sun or the rain. From here, a trail leads to the Hermitage and viewpoint of St Roc. I'll leave that for another day! But I'm sure that the views from st Roc are more spectacular, from here the trees don't let you see much!

Isolated building located on top of a ridge with excellent views of the Amer valley and the surrounding area. The construction consists of an original building with a rectangular plan with a semicircular apse, covered with a double-sloped roof on the sides, and a terraced house on the part of the apse with an irregular pentagon shape and three floors. The inner cover of the chapel is barrel-vaulted and that of the apse, quarter-sphere. The entire interior of the hermitage is oriented to the southeast due to the nature of the terrain.[1] The whole complex is elevated, because above the vault of the church there are attics with the same roof level as the building attached to the east. This building has an exterior access door with permodules and wooden threshold, made of sandstone blocks.[1] The main facade contains the door, two small openings and the bell tower with the Marieta bell. The gate is cobbled and made of well-aligned blocks of sandstone. Above the door are two small windows, one from the nave, at the level of the choir, and the other from the attic.[1] The south facade has only one opening, if we do not count the opening of the terraced house. The eastern facade preserves the remains of a sundial half stripped of red and white color.[1] Right next to the hermitage, on the north side, there is a cistern source called Sant Bernat and the remains of an old building attached to this side.[1] The eaves are made up of two rows, one of tile and one of tile.[1]
