20의 산트 펠리우 데 코디네스가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

A classic destination for cyclists in the Vallès area.

A place with excellent views of the entire southern part of Barcelona, including the Tibidabo antenna and the Ciudad Meridiana and Torre Baró neighborhoods.

A tough route but worth it

Arriving at the Cim del Puiggraciòs you will find this telegraph tower, which can be reached by mountain bike or gravel, by road you can only reach the Sanctuary. You can enjoy exceptional views of the Congost River Valley and Montseny, with the Tagamanent right in front. The ascent will not leave you indifferent.

At the top of Puiggraciós, 807 meters high, there is an old optical telegraph tower in excellent condition, built in 1854 and currently used by forest rangers. It is declared as a Cultural Property of National Interest.

It is a town where local cyclists usually stop to have breakfast in the town square. There are several bars, but the legendary one is Can Ramon. On Saturday and Sunday mornings it has a lot of atmosphere.

The mountain bike tour to Puig de la Creu near Castellar del Vallès offers a varied combination of nature, culture, and impressive views. The route leads over forest and gravel tracks through the region's hilly landscape up to the 668-meter-high summit. Once at the top, there are expansive panoramic views over the Vallès, the striking San Llorenç del Munt massif with La Mola, and the Montseny mountains. A special highlight of the tour is the small 12th-century Romanesque chapel of Santa Maria del Puig de la Creu, located just below the summit. Its simple natural stone architecture reflects the spiritual significance of this place and invites you to take a short rest. The summit plateau itself is marked with a metal cross, and next to it is a simple refuge that can provide shelter in case of bad weather. The last few meters to the summit are marked by cairns, as the trails are not always clearly signposted. GPS assistance or a good map is recommended, especially if you want to extend the tour as a circular route via Sentmenat or Sant Llorenç Savall. Overall, Puig de la Creu is a worthwhile destination for anyone seeking a harmonious blend of physical activity, scenic beauty, and cultural discovery.
