This is where the mill is, very cool, I recommend you not to leave without seeing it, it is also a perfect place to stop for lunch or dinner since it is cool and sheltered from the sun.

Good route for the whole family, if you are lucky enough to see the Brotons mill with a mantle of water lentils is heavenly. The Molí de Brotons, or Molí de la Tosca, was a mill located in the municipality of Castellcir, in the Moianès region. It is in the enclave of the Marfà valley.
Its remains are located to the left of the Marfà stream, to the northeast of the Marfà farmhouse and nearby and also to the northeast of the chapel of the Virgen de la Tosca and the Molí de Marfà.
It is a semi-troglodyte mill, located taking advantage of some balms on the banks of the riverbed, on the banks of the Salt de la Tosca, in a place of great beauty.
It was inhabited and in operation at least from 1608 (in what is called Molí de Brotons or dels Pilars) until the second third of the 19th century: in 1863 there was an extraordinary water avenue that took a baby with it. his wooden bed inside the mill, and the eight people of the miller's family died there. It has since been abandoned.
