Tips from the Community
Here the highway took a spring… and the locals resurrected it. The old iron mine that gave its name to the Font del Ferro disappeared with the C-32 highway construction in the 90s. Years later, people from the area got to work and recovered this spot. And underneath there's still another surprise: an arch of a Roman-era aqueduct. Two thousand years carrying water through here, the highway arrives and almost ruins everything. Luckily, this story ended much better than it began.

It looks like a stone hole lost in the forest, but inside here it reached 800 °C for 10 to 12 days straight. Limestone, tons of firewood, and people feeding the fire day and night to produce the lime with which houses were built and whitewashed. Today there is only silence and forest. Years ago, this was a small hell running 24 hours a day.

One of those places where it's worth slowing down a bit and looking around. Towering trees, dense forest, and a light that, when it filters through the canopy, makes this stretch spectacular. In summer, the shade is also greatly appreciated. And you're in Vallgorguina, land of forests, dolmens, and old witch stories. Very close by, in Pedra Gentil, tradition says that covens and witch gatherings were held. I don't know if any remain, but if you pass through here with this light, you perfectly understand why so many legends were born in these woods. A beautiful stretch to enjoy by bike without rushing.

The Tordera River is born in Montseny and advances silently, leaving its mark on the territory until it creates this magnificent delta in the Mediterranean.

If you look south, from Garbí beach, you can see the Calella lighthouse on the hillside. This structure is one of the most emblematic monuments in the area.

Sant Miquel de Vallmanya L'església està documentada des de l'any 1021. L'actual edifici és, però, molt posterior, del segle XVI, modificat de nou el 1826, segons es pot llegir a la porta. La façana té el coronament ondulat típicament barroc. El campanar, quadrat, té el tram superior de maó vist i està cobert amb una cúpula. adossada a l'església hi ha la casa del sagristà.
