Built during the Napoleonic era, this tower was part of the optical telegraph network that connected Barcelona with Vic using light signals and mirrors. Interestingly, according to local chroniclers, it never fully functioned: the wind and fog from Puiggraciós made it impossible to see the next station. Even so, it remains a symbol of a time when messages traveled at the speed of the sun, long before the telephone and fiber optic cable.

The former parish house in the small valley of Vallcàrquera, now an environmental education center, served for decades as a refuge for shepherds and travelers seeking shelter when storms blocked the Figaró pass. It is said that on winter nights, prayers and chants could be heard rising from the rectory to the forest, mingling with the murmur of the water. Now restored, it remains a warm and inviting place amidst the valley's verdant silence.

Hidden among the forests of Figaró, the Socau Mine was a small magnetite mine in the late 19th century. Today, half-covered by vegetation, it retains its entrance tunnel and some of the rusted mine carts. Some hikers say that as they approach, the air feels colder, as if the earth still breathes from within. Some leave candles or stones at the entrance, following an old local custom of asking for protection before entering places where the mountain "speaks."
