The castle of Palagret or Mabarrera is in the middle of the Palagret valley, at the top of a small hill, 178 m high, in the northernmost foothills of the Gavarres massif to the south-east of the Celrà center and to the south- west of Juià. Strategically located to control the Roman-era road that allowed access to Girona from the Baix Empordà through the Gavarres. Important medieval vestiges of the licorella walls of a rectangular construction as well as pre-Romanesque elements are preserved from the castle. The preserved remains could be dated to the 10th and 11th centuries,[1] and its last occupants left the premises between the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th.[2] It is a building in Celrà (Gironès) declared a cultural asset of national interest.

It is a tree that is located one kilometer from the Sanctuary of Los Angeles. The surolí is a mixture of cork oak and holm oak and there are some specimens in Las Gavarras. This one in particular was the testimony of a love story: Legend has it that once upon a time there was a couple in love who loved each other very much. They had considered getting married but the boy had to do the service and was assigned far away from his mistress. The girl, sad, prayed to the Mother of God that her beloved would return soon and every time she passed in front of the surolí she threw stones. At the third time, the stone stuck. At the age of three, the boy returned and they were able to get married. From there the tradition was born that all single boys and girls went to the surolí to throw stones at it. They had to throw so many stones for it to stay hooked, so many years would pass until they found a husband or wife.

If the day is clear we will be able to enjoy some magnificent panoramas, so towards the NE we could distinguish Sant Salvador Saverdera, El Perní, the Bay of Roses, El Puig Rodó, Montplà (Montgrí), among others...
