The best walks and hikes around Cabrils

A small cave hidden in a crevice of Montseny, damp and cool even in the height of summer. Its name comes from the constant croaking of frogs from the nearby stream, which seem to guard the entrance at dusk. Locals say that during storms, forest animals would take refuge inside, and that a hiker once found an old, rusty lantern hanging from the rock, as if someone had left it there to return.

The Creu de Montcabrer crowns one of the most emblematic points of the Serralada Litoral. The current cross, placed in 1982 and blessed in 1983, is the last in a long tradition dating back to 1565. Over the centuries, it has been replaced several times due to lightning, vandalism, and even bullet impacts during the Civil War. In addition to its unique history, this place is wonderful for the spectacular views it offers: from Montseny to Barcelona, passing through the Castell de Burriac and reaching Blanes on clear days. It's ideal for stopping, breathing, and contemplating the landscape. 🚴 WARNING: Do not attempt to ride down the path that leads to the caves located just below the cross. It is not suitable for cycling and can be dangerous. It is recommended to return along the same path you came in.

A summit with excellent views of the Maresme, crowned by a geodesic vertex. It's an ideal place to take a break, admire the landscape, or take some great photos. The final access is narrow and rocky: the last 10 meters require you to dismount and hike up. Still, the panoramic views are worth the effort.

The Dolmen of Can Boquet, also known as Roca d'en Toni, is a megalithic structure in Catalonia. The name Roca d'en Toni probably comes from the fact that, according to 19th century records, the landowner was called Toni Puig.

La Creu de Montcabrer (311 meters) is a viewpoint with spectacular views of the sea and mountains. The iron cross that presides over it has a long history of legends related to the towns of Cabrera de Sea and Cabrils.

The remains of Burriac Castle are almost a thousand years old. They are located at the top of Burriac Hill. One of the best ways to get to the castle is by following the local trail SL-C 115 from Cabrera de Mar.

(500 years) of the creation or official recognition of the municipalities in the region of the Baronía del Maresme, which is a geographical area. It is a denomination, with clear medieval content, that somehow grouped what are now the municipalities of Mataró, Argentona, Cabrera de Mar, Cabrils, Premià de Dalt, Premià de Mar, Vilassar de Dalt, Vilassar de Mar, Sant Andreu de Llavaneres and Sant Vicenç de Montalt, that is to say, broadly speaking, the current central Maresme. In 1480, these territories were freed from the feudal system that had then reigned in the area. For this reason, on November 30, 1980, different representatives of the aforementioned towns inaugurated a monolith commemorating this historical event in the Coll de Burriac, along the old path of Cabrils.

From the same hill and in a southerly direction (toward the sea) descends a rocky ridge. There are three caves where various archaeological remains have been found. Looking out to sea from the cross, on the left side and near the summit, there is the Cova dels Tres Cercles. On the right side and at mid-height, the Cau de les Formigues. In the center and at the bottom of the ridge, the Cave of the Good Women. Access to all of them is not easy, as you need to have a minimum of climbing skills and also wear suitable walking shoes.
