The best MTB trails around Premià De Dalt

Un monument megalític datat entre el final del neolític i l'edat del bronze, considerat un dels jaciments prehistòrics més importants del Maresme.

Església parroquial de Canyamars, coronat per un característic campanar d'espadanya amb quatre finestrals allargats.

An ancient watchtower with a Roman base and medieval structure, perched at an altitude of 416 meters, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and the Vallès region. Built to monitor roads and warn of dangers, it was converted into a hunting lodge in 1906, with the addition of a kitchen and bedrooms. Later, it fell into disrepair, was vandalized, and was restored in 2011. Today, it is open to the public and a popular stop for cyclists due to its strategic location, shade, and natural viewpoint. The base retains Roman ashlar blocks, making it an archaeological rarity in the heart of the mountains.

Located about 6 km from Llinars del Vallès and at an altitude of 406 meters, the hermitage of Sant Sebastià offers beautiful views, shade, and a picnic area, making it an ideal stop along the way. Documented since 1640, it lay in ruins until 2016 when a group of volunteers began its reconstruction, which was faithfully completed in 2018. The hermitage, measuring 10 x 5 meters, was notable for its bell gable, voussoir archway, and granite blocks. Traditionally, gatherings were held there in honor of Saint Sebastian, protector against the plague and storms. Small stones found in the surrounding area were believed to bring good luck and protection.

For centuries it was the Sunday getaway of the surrounding villages, and it is said that, on foggy days, the bell tower served as a guide to orientate oneself among the paths of the mountain range. Old meetings and gatherings were held on the esplanade, and you can still see the space where people sat to have breakfast after the climb. The access is direct and sustained, and the arrival offers a clear view of the sea and mountains that explains why Sant Mateu has always been a point of passage and a mandatory stop.

A small cave hidden in a crevice of Montseny, damp and cool even in the height of summer. Its name comes from the constant croaking of frogs from the nearby stream, which seem to guard the entrance at dusk. Locals say that during storms, forest animals would take refuge inside, and that a hiker once found an old, rusty lantern hanging from the rock, as if someone had left it there to return.

They say that the architect Puig i Cadafalch himself commissioned this fountain to evoke those he had seen on his travels through the Pyrenees. The water springs forth between red bricks and stone, simple yet precise, as if each curve were guided by an invisible plan. In summer, the residents of Òrrius still come down with bottles to fill it, and they say its taste changes with the phases of the moon. A small corner, but imbued with the very soul of someone who designed beauty even in a wellhead.

Beautiful town, which I hope to visit 🤩 to experience all its charm
