Hiking
El Rocar: This stacking of granite blocks favors the formation of small cavities or shelters that could have been used by the first settlers, to heal themselves from the elements. Ceramics dated to the Bronze Age 1800-1600 BC have been found. On other occasions it could have a funerary character. These prehistoric communities could be related to the megalithic monuments of the Pedra Gentil dolmen and the Trull dolmen. Beautiful views over Sant Celoni and the Turó de l'Home.
