Popular around Sant Feliu De Codines
Built during the Napoleonic era, this tower was part of the optical telegraph network that connected Barcelona with Vic using light signals and mirrors. Interestingly, according to local chroniclers, it never fully functioned: the wind and fog from Puiggraciós made it impossible to see the next station. Even so, it remains a symbol of a time when messages traveled at the speed of the sun, long before the telephone and fiber optic cable.

The mountain bike tour to Puig de la Creu near Castellar del Vallès offers a varied combination of nature, culture, and impressive views. The route leads over forest and gravel tracks through the region's hilly landscape up to the 668-meter-high summit. Once at the top, there are expansive panoramic views over the Vallès, the striking San Llorenç del Munt massif with La Mola, and the Montseny mountains. A special highlight of the tour is the small 12th-century Romanesque chapel of Santa Maria del Puig de la Creu, located just below the summit. Its simple natural stone architecture reflects the spiritual significance of this place and invites you to take a short rest. The summit plateau itself is marked with a metal cross, and next to it is a simple refuge that can provide shelter in case of bad weather. The last few meters to the summit are marked by cairns, as the trails are not always clearly signposted. GPS assistance or a good map is recommended, especially if you want to extend the tour as a circular route via Sentmenat or Sant Llorenç Savall. Overall, Puig de la Creu is a worthwhile destination for anyone seeking a harmonious blend of physical activity, scenic beauty, and cultural discovery.
