From here you can see the natural pool that forms in the Sorreigs ravine. As little light enters and it looks like a black well, in Catalan it is given the name Gorg Negre. It is a very curious formation through which water falls from a waterfall. In the rainy season it is much more spectacular.

100 m. steep descent on foot from the road. Alert if you have bike lanes! Further on there is a trail that leads to the foot of Gorg. In summer the water level drops a lot, better autumn or spring.

It is a very busy source. Located in a cool place at the foot of the Sorreig stream, and in a corner with large trees, it has exuberant vegetation that surrounds it and the water is of good quality. They say that no one has ever seen it dry. The fountain is preceded by a large esplanade, very shady thanks to the presence of large poplar and spruce trees. Next to the fountain are several benches and tables, ideal for spending some time in the fresh air. The original name of the source is the source of La Parada, as the Pujols station was very close to the location. The stops were water points where the inhabitants of the farmhouse put the hemp in basins and worked it. https://turisme.llucanes.cat/visiteu/font-de-la-prada/

It is a medium-sized farmhouse consisting of a main volume of ground floor, first floor and attic. a square volume attached to the west of two levels and several structures around it, closing a courtyard in front of the main facade of the farmhouse. It is built with stone masonry walls with corners delimited with worked ashlars. The roof is double-sided with gutters on the side facades in the main volume and four-sided in the attached square volume. Observations: In front of the main facade is a courtyard bounded by a stone masonry wall and a structure in the shape of a small church built in modern times at the south-east end of the courtyard. The main entrance to the courtyard faces south and is a gable-type portal (with a small double-sloped roof above) formed with worked stone jambs and a monolithic lintel with a lowered arch with the inscription "1792 IGNASI VILADECANS". A few meters to the south of the complex is an elongated structure framed with stone masonry walls and crowned with a double-sloped roof containing a large semi-circular arched opening framed with worked stone on its north facade. The farmhouse is also known as Casanova de la Vila. https://patrimonicultural.diba.cat/element/casanova-de-viladecans

It is located at the base of a rocky slope. The environment is very tidy and under the canopy there are well-arranged benches. Some of the branches are supported by tutors. In front of the tree, a field of dryland cereals opens up. In the background is the imposing fortified manor house of Vilar. There is a certain diversity of meadow grasses, wild garlic, fennel, vidalba, ivy, gavarra, bramble, sajolida, broomstick, juniper, robinia and large-leaved ash. Beyond the fauna of this type of habitat (such as larks, crickets and quails), you can see the bald eagle in summer and, very close by, an exceptional population of black woodpeckers. . Tradition has it that Madame Lotgarda de Perdals, from whom she took her name, had a great deal of love for the oak and spent long hours in its shade reading or crocheting. It is a tree listed as a monument since August 30, 1988 due to its size and age (it is believed to be over 500 years old). Descriptive data: - Perimeter of the trunk at 1.30 m: 4.13 m. - Perimeter of the base of the trunk: 7.66 m. - Height: 21.56 m. - Width of the crown: 33.21 m. - Altitude above sea level: 855 m.
