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."

Especially if it has rained, it is spectacular

According to Anna Gómez, it is about "(...) iron ore or magnetite mines that were in operation between the years 1880 and 1895. To extract the mineral, a wagon road was built that went from Vallcàrquera to the 'ancient path ral del Congost, behind the Torre de Can Parera'. The mine has comfortable dimensions throughout its route (about two meters high by one and a half meters wide). The mouth is partially obstructed by a collapse of the margin where it is open, but it is still quite comfortably accessible. After 17 meters with about thirty centimeters of water, the gallery continues inland for another 14 meters. Now the floor is covered by a thread of water that flows from an underground course that appears almost at the end of the main gallery.

An incredible road with almost no cars. On one side you have cliffs and on the other stunning views. At the end of the road you will come to a monastery. Pay attention in the curves because, despite the fact that there are not many cars, when one passes there is not much space left on the road.

Old Benedictine sanctuary located in the municipality of San Feliu de Codinas, in the Catalan region of Vallés Oriental. The church was built in a cave, with its own stone serving as a roof. It is the largest troglodyte church in the country. It has a Romanesque portal formed by a semi-circular arch.

Small bauma located on the right bank of the PR-33 that leads from Figaró to Montmany, inside the Sot del Bac. Bauma formed by the lateral excavation of the Sot del Bac stream, 35-40 meters above the current talveg. It is a not very deep cavity excavated in a rocky margin or slope where the light penetrates. This has graffiti and evidence of occupation inside, with traces of having been set on fire. It is a suitable place for shelter or bivouac. At least before it was very common to use it. The Sot del Bac pass would be a natural path used by the first human communities, both to stock up on various natural resources (water, hunting and gathering) and as a place of passage and communication between the Gorge sector and Puiggraciós and the Cingles de Bertí. Currently this is occupied sporadically by walkers and climbers.
