산트 프루토스 데 바게스 최고의 사이클링 경로

This small 18th-century hermitage is included in the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. At the beginning of summer, a pilgrimage (aplec) used to be held there.

A beautiful place on the edge of a large protected area, Sant Llorec. The place is a little higher up and is like an unforested island in the middle of this large forest. The road meanders leisurely through the place and then continues with pleasant inclines. The route is wonderful!

From this point of view it looks wonderful. Gardens and bridge, a great still life

Beautiful panoramic views of Monistrol de Calders. Right at this hermitage begins a descent towards this municipality where today there are a couple of sections that are a little complicated to do on MTB. A very experienced mountain bike cyclist could do them. I was alone on this route and for safety reasons I preferred to go down them pushing the bike.

Vila de Talamanca, a stop on the way either to enjoy a good breakfast or to rest at its source. Recommended to load water in summer.

Narrow trail that runs next to the river, the first part the ground is smooth without stones and passes between trees and further on there are stones but round, not sharp.

This old bridge over the river Llobregat is located in a very strategic area of passage, as the municipalities of Sant Fruitós de Bages, Sallent, Artés, Calders and Navarcles coincide. It was bombed and abandoned in that state during the Spanish civil war. It appears documented for the first time in 1086, as part of the royal road. Of the primitive Romanesque structure, only a part of the foundations remains on the left side of the river.

This 26-kilometre-long ditch that carries water to Manresa was built in the 14th century by the master Guillem Catà. Its construction was highly problematic, as the Bishop of Vic opposed its construction because it passed through the bishopric's land and threatened its promoters with excommunication. The bishop died before the works were finished and even so he really excommunicated the workers and the councilors of Manresa, in addition to interrupting the practice of the sacraments throughout the city. The bishop's successor maintained a more dialogue attitude, accepting the compensation offered by the city. However, legend has it that divine intervention became necessary, in the form of a mysterious light from Montserrat that entered through the stained glass windows of the Carmen church, at the same time that the bells began to ring by themselves. The bishop, seeing this phenomenon, regretted his position, but died shortly after, and his successor did not take long to reverse the situation and lift the excommunication.
