A key ecological corridor between Montseny and the sea. Here, the riverbed changes, overflows, and regenerates, creating an ever-changing landscape. Although the sign is damaged, the surroundings take center stage: riverside forest, silence, and paths perfect for leisurely rides, allowing you to understand the territory before continuing.

This section of the Tordera River Walk was designed following the river's "living" course, not to control it, but to adapt to its floods. That's why the landscape is constantly changing and never the same two days in a row. The picnic area is at a transition point between riverside woodland and open terrain, ideal for stopping and observing the river before continuing to cycle: here it's best to slow down, because the Tordera sets the pace.

Restoration needed after many years of going unnoticed. It's hard to believe, but the bathroom of my grandparents, Maria and Miquel, was right in the center of the cloister. A few meters above, but in the center.

Amidst ruins and wind, this castle holds a little-known curiosity: on one of its walls, stonemasons' marks in the shape of a cross were found. According to some historians, these are not religious symbols but rather the "signatures" of the workers who were paid per stone laid. They say each mark represented a payment. From the summit, the sea and Montseny seem closer, as if the castle still serves as a lookout, this time not for armies, but for horizons.
