The Amics de Santa Maria entity, headed by Francesc Vivas from Calella, promoted the reconstruction of the hermitage of Santa Maria del Montnegre and started the project to recover the splendor of the corner of peace after in the summer of 2014 he produced the act of vandalism that destroyed the pedestal and the theft of the image of the saint, probably thinking that it had more economic value than it really did.

It is a spectacular outcrop of quartz of considerable size that river erosion left exposed in the middle of what had been some crop fields next to Tordera. On the side facing the river there is a hole that, according to legend, was the burrow where the Drac de Vilardell was hiding. The rock is crowned by several hackberry sprouts, which give the whole a unique appearance. According to this legend, this was the place where the brave knight Soler de Vilardell came to meet the Dragon that had terrified the population of Sant Celoni and killed him with a sword of virtue given to him by a mysterious beggar.

This point is the part of the municipalities of Calella, Tordera and Pineda. If we go into the oaks and pines towards the Pineda creek where on the edge of the path we can observe the trail of wild boars and eagles. We will be able to see the first antiquity of Pineda's past at the Molí de Can Marquès (XIV).

How to arrive From Sant Celoni, we go to the Porta de Llevant and immediately cross the C-35 towards Vilardell, passing by the fire station. The road heads towards the mountains, and we pass by an elevated bridge that crosses both the Tordera and the AP7 highway. Once we leave the bridge, we immediately turn left, along a dirt road that runs parallel to the highway. In about 200 meters we reach the Molí d'en Coll, and a little further, the Roca del Drac, where we find a small car park.
