The best walks and hikes around Argentona

If you feel like discovering the sources in this area, I recommend doing the route from Argentona and not descending from Castell de Burriac. There are paths that connect to them from above, but some are quite tough and, for what the route offers, I don't think it's worth it. You can start calmly at Font del Mig, on the outskirts of Argentona, and link up with Font de les Sureres, Font de l'Esquirol and Font del Ferro. They are relatively close to each other and the route is easy, pleasant and very frequented by people walking, often with dogs, so on a bike you have to go easy. Currently, of the three, at Font de l'Esquirol is where I have found running water. And to finish, Font del Ferro is a good place to stop: tables, picnic area and its curious large stones around. If you bring a sandwich, even better. It won't be the most exciting MTB outing in Maresme, but these sources are part of Argentona and it's worth doing the route, even if just once.

La Font de les Sureres es un rincón tranquilo y agradable, escondido entre el bosque y rodeado de alcornoques. Está muy cerca de la Font de l'Esquirol y merece la pena desviarse para verla. Tiene mesa y bancos de piedra, ideales para hacer una pequeña parada durante la ruta. El caudal puede variar bastante según las lluvias, así que no siempre encontrarás agua.

One of the most beautiful and hidden springs in this area of Argentona. **It was built in 1998 by the Grup de Fonts d'Argentona** and its name has a curious story: while they were working on it, a squirrel began to watch them jumping between the branches. The spring didn't have a name yet... and they had just found it. It is located in a small hollow, surrounded by forest and very close to the Font de l'Esquirolet. Of all the springs I have visited on this route, **it is the one I have currently found with running water**. A small, cool, and quiet corner that is worth visiting. And since you are here, continue: **the Font del Ferro is further up and the springs are very close to each other.**

Monòlit del Coll de Burriac És un monòlit de granit de més de 5 metres d'alçària, tot d'una peça i molt ferm. Fou erigit el 1980 en commemoració del 500è aniversari de l'alliberament dels lligams senyorials de les viles veïnes amb la Baronia del Maresme. Aquest fet suposà el final de l'època feudal per a aquest territori.

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.
