    Tips

    September 5, 2021

    The Puig de la Creu is a 668-meter mountain in Castellar del Vallès, which can be easily climbed to the top. From several points of the route there are good views of the Vallès Occidental, Collserola and Montseny.

    It offers a complete perspective of the region, with views of the San Lorenzo massif and also of Montserrat, and there is a group of buildings, and among them the hermitage of Santa María del Monte de la Cruz. The ensemble, with an irregular shape similar to a pentagon, develops around a central courtyard.

    The 12th century Romanesque chapel is the oldest building in the whole complex. It is a rural chapel without ornamentation that is dedicated to Santa María (de la Cruz), the Virgin of Sorrows.

        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.
