The best running trails around Argentona

If you feel like getting to know the sources in this area, I recommend doing the route from Argentona and not going down from Castell de Burriac. There are paths that connect with 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, at the exit 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 only once.

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.**

The curious thing about this place is that it doesn't work like a normal labyrinth. There are no crossroads, traps, or wrong paths. There is only one route that winds its way to the center and then leads you back out. Its creator, Àlex Costa, a yoga teacher, built it inspired by ancient unicursal labyrinths, used for centuries as symbols of the journey, introspection, and meditation. And there's another detail: it's practically in Cabrils, but for just a few meters, it belongs to Òrrius. Next to the labyrinth, you'll also find other compositions made of stone, including a large yin-yang. If you pass by here, don't rush. Leave your bike for a moment, enter on foot, and complete the circuit. You might not find anything special... or perhaps that's precisely the point.

Today I arrived here by pure chance, cycling up forest tracks, with no idea this place existed. And suddenly, three girls singing mantras, accompanied by a drum, and in the middle of the trees, a strange stone labyrinth. I stopped my bike and stayed for a while. Forest, silence, voices, and the sound of the drum. The relaxation was total. One of those moments that don't appear on the track and end up being the best part of the route. Later I discovered that I hadn't arrived there by chance: this labyrinth was created as a walking meditation space. It's not a labyrinth to get lost in or to find an exit. It has a single path: you enter, follow the path to the center, and then exit again. The beauty lies precisely in walking it slowly and disconnecting from everything else. Today the bike took me to a place I probably would never have gone looking for. And that's why I like getting lost in these mountains.

Easy and panoramic summit, with good views towards Burriac, Argentona and the Maresme coast. I usually arrive by descending from Castell de Burriac: you leave the track, enter the singletrack and in a few meters you are at Turó dels Oriols. It is also perfectly feasible to climb from Argentona; with a modern enduro bike it even has its charm, although personally I recommend it for descending. From here, a real fan of singletracks opens up towards Argentona: forest, shade, curves and lots of roots. When dry, flow and fun; when wet, be very careful, because the roots really slip. A good spot to stop, enjoy the views and choose where you want to continue playing with your bike.

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.
