The Gros hill is not the highest of the mountain range, but it is close (764).

The watchtower raises you about 20 meters higher and from the top you have views of 4 bands:

1> On the coast and sea of La Selva and Maresma,

2> In Barcelonès (Collserola can be seen on the horizon), Bages and Vallès (Montserrat),

3> In the Gironès (you can distinguish the Rocacorba with the antennas) and 4> In the massif of Montseny and the castle of Montsoriu.

Getting here requires a lot of effort, but it's worth it!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Quite a quiet place to visit by bike or on foot. In my case I went up from Pineda de Mar passing through Hortsavinya. At the top of Turó Gros there is a watchtower with views of the entire area, if you go up on a cloudless day, it is more than worth going. The tower is abandoned and without a padlock. Quite a recommendable place! I will surely go up there again.
