Very cool but you have to be in good shape

Les Flandes is a place near the town of Piera, in the Catalan region of l'Anoia. It is characterized by a landscape of horizontal strata of Quaternary deposits of clay and calcareous materials, whose different resistance to the erosive action of water has given them their particular appearance. The reddish colors of the clay, the concave shapes created by erosion and the green of the pine trees form a unique landscape.

This path flows through the stream that has formed some thickets among the woods in the area and that descends to the town of Santa Margarida de Montbui

Channel that is between the Echo of Nubiola and the Miranda of the Echoes. Mandatory step to ascend to Miranda dels Ecos on its western side. It consists of two distinct parts: the upper part where the terrain is quite steep and the ground quite flat and with a good amount of loose stone between tree branches and bushes. Three sections of rope help a lot, whether you're going up or down. You have to be very careful because it is difficult not to drop a stone. In the lower part we find a wall lock of about 12 meters equipped with a chain and depending on the time the occasional rope added. It is necessary to assess the ability of each person to overcome this section with strength of arms, both uphill and downhill. Almost mandatory to wear a helmet if you go in a group, not to drop a stone is really difficult. It is recommended to bring a rope to secure those who have doubts or simply to rappel quietly.

The Canal dels Micos is part of the ascent to the Miranda dels Ecos on the eastern side. It is a narrow channel where we will have to overcome a first section where you have to place your feet alternately to be able to progress and a second part where the branches of a yew tree force us to make a monkey to be able to overcome it. Finally the channel is blocked and you have to go out on the right in a side pass where a cable as a handrail will give us enough confidence to get out of the channel. From this point we will continue the ascent through the Canal del Camell. We must not forget that we are in Montserrat, so those who are not used to exposed steps without securing it should take it easy. It is advisable to bring a 40 meter rope in case we want to rappel back and especially if we want to go down the Echos chain on the way back, about 12 meters quite vertical. It is highly recommended, if not mandatory, to wear a helmet to protect us from falling rocks, which is frequent in this area.

Just when the Torrent de les Grutes narrows almost completely we find a jump of about 5 meters where colleagues from Grup Cavall Bernat equipped with a few staples to facilitate the passage. Now there is also a rope.
