Not only did it serve as a watchtower, but it also served as a rapid transmission point between castles and fortified farmhouses in the area, before regular messengers existed. It also acted as a retreat point during episodes of the French War, taking advantage of its elevated and discreet access. The base and part of the walls remain of the construction, enough to understand its strategic function in such a busy historical corridor. The place is quiet and easy to identify on route.

Beyond the usual features, what's interesting is that it wasn't just a parish church, but a key crossroads between isolated farmhouses and forest trails. For centuries it also served as a meeting place for the foresters, who used the porch to exchange warnings about snowfalls, fires, or lost livestock. Inside, remnants of badly worn mural paintings were found, indicating that it was once more important than it appears today. The surrounding area retains that secluded and remote atmosphere that has always characterized Sant Llop.

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.

At this point on the road, there's a children's park, which is also a starting point for cyclists and hikers. Thanks to Breda City Council, they've also installed a bike workshop, complete with a pump and tools. I hope those who love other people's things...don't take any notice.

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.

Next to the church there is a nice area to rest

This trail next to the Riera del Repiax... is ideal for short routes, in groups or alone..!!
