산트 이슬레 데 발랄타 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Long before the current metal structure, this spot was already being used in the 19th century as a signal post, where forest rangers gave visual warnings from a wooden platform. It wasn't chosen solely for its height, but also because it's a place where the wind changes abruptly, which helps detect smoke from a great distance. In the 1970s, a rotating fiberglass cabin for continuous surveillance was tested there, but it was discarded because the wind moved it too much. An unassuming spot, but with a hidden history behind its forestry function.

Natural source of untreated water

Hermitage and water fountain

Typical crossroads

Quite a quiet place to visit by bike or on foot. In my case I went up from Pineda de Mar passing through Hortsavinya. At the top of Turó Gros there is a watchtower with views of the entire area, if you go up on a cloudless day, it is more than worth going. The tower is abandoned and without a padlock. Quite a recommendable place! I will surely go up there again.

The Collet de Sant Benet represents the culmination of the track that crosses the Montnegre before going downhill towards Hortsavinyà and the Tordera range or towards Calella - Pineda. It is a silent and magical place with privileged views of Montseny

The Gros hill is not the highest of the mountain range, but it is close (764). The watchtower raises you about 20 meters higher and from the top you have views of 4 bands: 1> On the coast and sea of La Selva and Maresma, 2> In Barcelonès (Collserola can be seen on the horizon), Bages and Vallès (Montserrat), 3> In the Gironès (you can distinguish the Rocacorba with the antennas) and 4> In the massif of Montseny and the castle of Montsoriu. Getting here requires a lot of effort, but it's worth it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The "Masía Corral d'en Forn" is a 17th and 18th century farmhouse located on the southwest side of the Turó de ca l'Amar. From an architectural point of view, it is not one of the most outstanding farmhouses, but, located at about 400 meters above sea level, it was one of the references in the mountain lifestyle. In this farmhouse, the Forn de Torrentbó family had their cattle, hence the name "Corral d'en Forn". In addition to the corral, different crops were grown there, such as the vine, which could be cultivated at this altitude thanks to its sunny location.
