Corriol paral·lel al riu Congost, molt ombrívol, fresc i tota una alternativa per anar cap al Figaró des de la Garriga sense passar per l'autovia.

Located at the foot of the ruined castle of Tagamanent, it is a mountain pass where 3 climbs culminate, starting from Figaró, Tagamanent and Aiguafreda. The only asphalted climb today (and it is under construction) is the one that goes up from Tagamanent village. It is a very demanding climb because it is 7 km long at an average gradient of 9.1%, with many ramps between 15% and 20%. There is a 2 km section, at the end of the climb, which has an average gradient of 13%. A spectacular climb!

An ideal place with wonderful views of the plain of Vic, the Turó de l'Home, the ravines of the valley below, and the distant peaks of the Pyrenees. I have enjoyed this place very much and it is highly recommended.

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

Inside is the Tagamanent Ethnological Park. Casa Museo L'Agustí. It is worth visiting. https://parcs.diba.cat/es/web/equipaments/detall-equipament/-/contingut/155678/parc-etnologic-de-tagamanent-casa-museu-l-agusti

La Garriga has two cycle paths and numerous paths to explore by bicycle. The exit from Plaza del Silencio passes through the Paseo where you can see summer heritage. Next, you advance through the Narcisa Freixas square until you reach Can Terreros where you can see the archaeological remains of Can Terreros. Continue over the bridge on Bages Street and Ramon Ciurans Street. Finally. It connects with the river path in Llerona, Rosanes and La Almendra, in a route of 3.9km. This route can be done up to 35km to reach Besós beach in a gradient of just under 100 meters. It descends comfortably parallel to the river, scanning the river, which is on the right, and crop fields on the left. As you go down, you reach a landscape that becomes more urban and industrial. The path has no discontinuity.
