Itinerary through the Plan de Savassona that includes the Romanesque hermitage of Sant Feliu as well as medieval remains such as anthropomorphic tombs, medieval stairs, several engraved stones used for sacrifices and magical acts: The Dau, Stone of Sacrifices, Stone of the Witches, Stone of the 'Man. https://parcs.diba.cat/documents/75109/15894265/p02d067.pdf/9ed9c436-da7a-4c78-b59a-bab3ad98e942

The Pla de Savassona, in the heart of the natural area, houses an interesting archaeological site that includes various rocks with engravings and Neolithic, Iron Age, Iberian and medieval remains. The one known as the stone of Man, for example, presents an anthropomorphic petroglyph, while the stone of the Witches presents engravings in the shape of a horseshoe and a cross. Under the Sacrifice stone, one of the largest in the site, two tombs have been found.

One of the most spectacular engravings that can be found in Plan de Savassona is that of the anthropomorphic figure on the small stone known as Pedra de l'Home or Pedra del Nen. It is a figure made with a very well-marked stroke with a very large head and incisions representing the eyes and mouth or nose. The shapes are disproportionate and simple. She seems asexual, although some studies attribute her female sex. On the same stone we see many very different marks, but a combination of elements around the human figure that wants to represent a goat or similar animal stands out. The anthropomorphic figure was particularly affected by mosses, algae and lichens. During the cleaning work carried out in the summer of 2012, it was possible to identify a red stain caused by some cremation done on the rock at some undetermined time. The Pedra de l'Home has been granted BCIN (Cultural Property of National Interest) degree of protection.

It is a large stone with a central cleft that divides it into two halves, which has a great density and diversity of engravings. There are more than a hundred representations: fifty cruciform elements dominated by the Latin cross topped with small bowls at the ends; nine horseshoes; six casseroles; several circles; and other figures among which stand out two V-shaped, two 8-shaped, and three combinations of peculiar elements. The variety of motifs and techniques used do not allow defining a single meaning or a single chronology. The most frequent chronological attributions range from the Bronze Age to the medieval period.

The Stone of the Witches is a large natural stone with a large central crack that divides it into two halves. On this stone you can see a lot of medieval engravings - more than 50 crosses, 9 horseshoes, 6 bowls, various circles and other figures. According to legend, these marks were made by witches who were at odds with the Baron of Savassona. It seems that the Baron of Savassona was connected to the Inquisition and the witches wanted to send him a warning.

The blowers are holes or slits through which a current of air comes out. It is worth the walk through the wonderful place where the holes are located, since its location in the lower part of the Sierra dels Bufadors creates a special microclimate, with large boulders covered in moss and a very particular flora. It is not a very large area, elongated and more or less narrow. We have to look at the holes in the floor. If we approach it we will notice that the air coming out is cold. Sometimes you can hear it whistling inside, hence the name blowers. As we progress we will find more holes. Some of them have been reviewed by speleological experts. Here the ground is unstable and it is not advisable to enter the blowers. It is a place of great beauty that has a magical air.
