It's on a hill near Samalús and preserves the remains of an ancient Iberian settlement. It's barely been excavated, so what you see are low walls and stones half-hidden by the forest. It's not an obvious or touristy spot, and that's what makes it special. The climb is tough; you'll have to push your bike if you go that way, but when you reach the top, you're rewarded with altitude, history, and solitude. It's one of those places that doesn't show you anything... and that's precisely why it tells you so much more.
