Regarding the Mother of God, to whom this local shrine is dedicated, here is a reflection by Albino Luciani from his time as Patriarch of Venice (later Pope John Paul I): "A privileged place in the Bible is reserved for Mary, who was chosen to become the Mother of God and to participate positively in the Incarnation and the Redemption. In the past, the grace of divine election was emphasized above all. Today, Mary's response is also emphasized, her yes, or rather, her 'active and responsible consent.' A responsible and courageous yes to a task that encompassed the entire world..." Text: Albino Luciani (Pope John Paul I)

The Xandri pine is a monumental pinyoner pine (Pinus pinea in Latin) located in the territory of the rural park of Torre Negra in Sant Cugat del Vallès, about 250 years old (according to a dendrological analysis it germinated in 1774). The tree has a height of 23 meters, a trunk circumference of 3.20 meters and a trunk thickness of 3.60 meters. Its head has a width of 21 by 15 meters. It is called Xandri because it is located on land that was once owned by a farmer named Xandri

The Pi d'en Xandri is one of the oldest pines in Catalonia and an ecological, cultural and historical symbol of Sant Cugat. It is estimated that he was born around the year 1774, at the time of Mozart, Kant and Napoleon Bonaparte, now about 248 years ago. It is a stone pine (pinus pinea) and is located in the Torre Negra rural park. It has a considerable height -23 meters- and a trunk of 3.20 meters in diameter. Its crown is 21 meters wide and has a peculiar shape, like a parasol, with a wayward, half-naked branch. The Pi d'en Xandri lost part of its branches due to the snow that accumulated on Christmas night in the year 62, when a formidable snowfall covered Catalonia in white. In 1997 some vandals tried to saw it off and set it on fire. It was necessary to graft a piece of live trunk so that the sap could circulate again and it was held with the trunks that surround it today to facilitate its healing.
