From the natural viewpoint of El Bellver, the church of Santa Maria de Tagamanent stands out against the sky like a still postcard. On clear days, the folds of the Montseny mountain range are visible, and if the wind blows, the bells seem to reach all the way here. The name “Bellver” says it all: beautiful view. A place to stand in silence, leave your bike aside, and watch as history and landscape intertwine.

As its name suggests in Catalan, "Bellver" is a good view. So all that remains is to enjoy the wonderful views from here, where the road ends. To reach the views, you have to overcome the barrier on the left that prohibits the passage of motor vehicles, go up a small ramp on the right, go around the house and enjoy the views.

Shortly after passing the detour that allows you to access the Turó del Tagamanent and the parking lot (a point from which motor vehicles cannot pass), this beautiful farmhouse appears, located in a spectacular place with panoramic views of the valley and the cliffs on the other side of the valley. It is a wonderful place to enjoy a good picnic on mild spring and autumn days.

The Aiguafreda de Dalt complex is the center of an old rural parish that was built on the site of a high medieval village. The oldest vestiges located so far are located in the cave-crypt, which has been identified as a necropolis of the 6th and 7th centuries. In the 18th century a common was built at one end of the moat, which was replaced at the beginning of the 20th century by a small cemetery located a hundred meters to the north. During the second half of the 20th century, several surveys were carried out where the Romanesque vestiges of the temple were uncovered, as well as the bodies that covered it externally were demolished.
