The best running trails around Cabrils

Un monument megalític datat entre el final del neolític i l'edat del bronze, considerat un dels jaciments prehistòrics més importants del Maresme.

For centuries it was the Sunday getaway of the surrounding villages, and it is said that, on foggy days, the bell tower served as a guide to orientate oneself among the paths of the mountain range. Old meetings and gatherings were held on the esplanade, and you can still see the space where people sat to have breakfast after the climb. The access is direct and sustained, and the arrival offers a clear view of the sea and mountains that explains why Sant Mateu has always been a point of passage and a mandatory stop.

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 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.

It is a very simple Romanesque-style hermitage, with a single nave covered with a barrel vault, with a semicircular apse, which has a double-flow window. The nave is very short, which suggests that it was shortened during the restoration, We must highlight the arrangement of the belfry bell tower, perpendicular to the façade, for its originality. Next to the chapel is the hermit's house. In the 15th century it was known as San Mateo del Bosque and was property of the Priory of Sant Miquel del Fai. The chapel has been documented since the year 993. In a pastoral visit from 1498 it is recorded that it is in a ruinous state but it had to be restored shortly after since in the 16th century it had worship again. In the 16th century restoration, the nave had to be cut off, now quite short in relation to the apse, and with a very simple façade. On Saint Matthew's Day, its traditional pilgrimage is celebrated. From the hermitage you can enjoy good views of the Maresme, an area frequented by several hiking and mountain biking routes.

It is a cave formed by two large blocks of granite on top of which rests another block that acts as a cover, with two chambers distributed on two different levels. The lower chamber is composed of a stone of two sides, quadrangular, which was located in the center. No materials were found in this room. In the upper chamber, three burials were found with badly decomposed bones. Ceramic fragments were found in all of them. In the first there was a flint knife, an arrowhead of the same material with a peduncle, and a plate of light green diorite (143 x 55 x 7 mm.). In the second burial, two flint knives, a flint arrowhead and a rectangular light green diorite plate (78 x 37 x 8 mm.) were found in the third, a flint knife and arrow. When sifting the soil inside the cave, four flint arrowheads, a piece of greenish-colored silicate perforated round necklace, and two flint knife fragments were exhumed. It seems that cardiac material was also found in this coat. Therefore it can be said that it is a collective sepulchral crypt from the end of the Chalcolithic and the beginning of the ancient bronze. It can be considered a type of burial that coexists with the final stages of the megalithic phenomenon.

Ceramic remains, a stone ax and a copper ax were also found in this settlement (Vilassar de Dalt museum archive). Now the large granite blocks have disappeared and we no longer find any stone scattered among the oaks.

The hermitage of Sant Mateu del Bosc belongs to the municipality of Premià de Dalt, in the Maresme region. It crowns the highest point of the Sant Mateu mountain range. The chapel is located about 500 m from the farmhouse of Can Riera and, close by, there is the house where the hermits lived in the 16th and 17th centuries, and then a family of guardians. It is within the boundaries of the Serralada Litoral Park, protected as a cultural asset of local interest.
