Historic center of Catalonia, more beautiful than the official one.

The summit is crowned by three large stainless steel crosses. A plaque informs that the UEC Anoia renewed the crosses on February 24, 1991 and that they were blessed by the rector of Castellfollit del Foix, Bishop Josep Maria Mas i Busqué. The views are similar to those of Cogulló, although from here we have an interesting full panorama of this peak and the ridge that joins both peaks.

peak of Cogulló de Cal Torre, a mountain included in the list of the 100 Peaks of the FEEC and bordering the municipalities of Rajadell and Castellfollit del Foix. At its summit, the ridges of the Serra del Colomer (which we climbed), the Serra de Cal Torre (parallel to the first and also called the Palomes on some maps), and the ridge of La Serra converge , through which we will continue the path. From the top we have magnificent views of Montserrat, Sant Llorenç, Montseny and part of Central Catalonia. But on clear days we can also see the Pyrenees, such as Pedraforca, Gallina Pelada or Cadí. At the top we will find a wooden fire watch house as well as a geodesic vertex (reference 277112001). This peak is one of the disputed points for the centrality of Catalonia, for which, every September 11, a very crowded gathering is held there. Unfortunately, the summit is accessible to motor vehicles, motorbikes but also all-terrain vehicles, which damages the balance of the environment.

Can Muset is a large modernist building that used to be a rural house. It is visible from afar thanks to its height and very beautiful.

The Castle of Castellolí is a famous construction in the area and quite spectacular. Basically because it is located at the top of a hill that gives it height above the remains of forests and agricultural fields, with the village of Castellolí in the background and the Serra de la Monja in the background.

We felt very welcome here in Castellolí. Not only the employees of the Ayuntamiento, but also the nice owner of the Brillante took care of us touchingly.
