아리우스 최고의 사이클링 경로

For centuries it was the Sunday getaway of the surrounding villages, and it is said that, on foggy days, the bell tower served as a guide to orientate oneself among the paths of the mountain range. Old meetings and gatherings were held on the esplanade, and you can still see the space where people sat to have breakfast after the climb. The access is direct and sustained, and the arrival offers a clear view of the sea and mountains that explains why Sant Mateu has always been a point of passage and a mandatory stop.

A small cave hidden in a crevice of Montseny, damp and cool even in the height of summer. Its name comes from the constant croaking of frogs from the nearby stream, which seem to guard the entrance at dusk. Locals say that during storms, forest animals would take refuge inside, and that a hiker once found an old, rusty lantern hanging from the rock, as if someone had left it there to return.

Nice views. It is definitely doable on a gravel bike, but it is not exactly easy.

One of the many picturesque spots with a wonderful view (weather dependent).

About 300 meters before reaching the hermitage along the track from Òrrius, on the left, dry stone walls are preserved, the remains of a shelter used by Republican militiamen during the Civil War. It's not signposted, but it's visible if you get off your bike and explore a bit. The surroundings are very peaceful and steeped in history: the hermitage was also used as a temporary shelter.

The Dolmen of Can Boquet, also known as Roca d'en Toni, is a megalithic structure in Catalonia. The name Roca d'en Toni probably comes from the fact that, according to 19th century records, the landowner was called Toni Puig.

The Gallzeran Tower, located near Badalona, is a must-see destination for cycle tourists. This viewpoint offers spectacular panoramic views of the coast and the city of Barcelona, making it the perfect highlight of a cycling route. The path to the tower is challenging but rewarding, with climbing stretches that wind through lush natural landscape. Once at the top, cyclists can rest and enjoy the impressive horizon, making this stop an unforgettable visual and physical experience.

It is a very simple Romanesque-style hermitage, with a single nave covered with a barrel vault, with a semicircular apse, which has a double-flow window. The nave is very short, which suggests that it was shortened during the restoration, We must highlight the arrangement of the belfry bell tower, perpendicular to the façade, for its originality. Next to the chapel is the hermit's house. In the 15th century it was known as San Mateo del Bosque and was property of the Priory of Sant Miquel del Fai. The chapel has been documented since the year 993. In a pastoral visit from 1498 it is recorded that it is in a ruinous state but it had to be restored shortly after since in the 16th century it had worship again. In the 16th century restoration, the nave had to be cut off, now quite short in relation to the apse, and with a very simple façade. On Saint Matthew's Day, its traditional pilgrimage is celebrated. From the hermitage you can enjoy good views of the Maresme, an area frequented by several hiking and mountain biking routes.
