An Argentona

June 18, 2024

The water sculpts whimsical shapes in the rocks, the earth gives life to wild vegetation and the fresh air takes the breath away of early risers when they stroll along the numerous paths and paths that link the country houses.

Fountains, caves, pools and crops accompany the flora of Moianès on the numerous routes through Sant Quirze Safaja. The pine, oak and holm oak forests combine with the riverside vegetation on the banks of the Tenes River, or the torrents and streams that cross the area.

An Argentona

Sant Quirze Safaja is the town most south of Moianès. It is an atypical town, in the sense that it does not have an urban core, with the exception of the parish church, located on top of a ridge called "La Mola" and Carrer Major, which groups together a group of houses.

It seems that the name "Safaja" comes from the word "fai", which means "fail", surely in allusion to this geographical formation.

The nautical environment is so delicate and subtle that the town did not grow beyond a single street. The rest of the homes are spread over the term and in different housing estates. This arrangement makes the forest present everywhere. Several torrents and streams and also the Tenes river cross the term.

Nature is therefore the town's main heritage: an exuberant nature that has provoked comparisons: it is like a "little Switzerland", some have written.

The four elements of nature come together in Sant Quirze to create a spectacular landscape: the water that sculpts capricious shapes on the rocks; the earth that gives life to a wild vegetation, the fresh air that cuts the breath and the fire that gave warmth to our prehistoric past ancestors.
