Located at a strategic point between La Garriga and Figaró. In addition to the legend of Louis the Pious, what stands out is its practical use: for centuries it was a stop for the porters who came down from Montseny loaded with coal and firewood. There they would dismount their horses, have a drink and leave small offerings to Saint Christopher, patron saint of travelers. Until the 1940s it was common to find horseshoes hanging there as protection. The esplanade still maintains the atmosphere of a place of passage and a place to rest before continuing on their journey.
