Popular around Sant Iscle De Vallalta
The parish of Sant Andreu is already documented in 1083, but this church is not that one: the current one began to be built in 1825 and was inaugurated in 1848 because the town had grown and the medieval temple had been left away from the center. The curious thing is inside: it preserves a 16th-century baptismal font, probably from the old church. And the image of Sant Andreu that currently presides over the altar is also not the original: it is from after the Civil War. So the building is about 200 years old, the font about 500, and the parish almost 1,000. One of those places that seem to have nothing special until you start to scratch a little.

Watchtower located next to the summit of El Corredor, very close to the sanctuary. From here, a huge expanse of forest is controlled, and during the summer campaign, it is part of the forest fire surveillance and detection system. Next to the tower is also the geodesic vertex of El Corredor. As a curiosity, these mountains have been used for centuries as observation points. In the El Far area, the ancient Torrassa del Moro was part of a territorial surveillance system in which the towers could communicate by smoke during the day and fire at night. Means have changed a lot, but the function has not changed so much: from these heights, the forest and a large part of the territory surrounding El Corredor continue to be monitored.

Església de Sant Llop d'Hortsavinyà El document més antic on s'esmenta Hortsavinyà és del 1101, i el primer de l'església, del 1301, si bé la primitiva esglesiola podria ser del segle IX o X. La major part de l'edifici actual és del segle XVIII. Sant Llop n'és el patró (1 de setembre), i per això se celebra la festa major en aquestes dates, coincidint amb el primer diumenge del mes. I si sant Llop és el patró de l'església, santa Eulàlia ho és del poble, i pels volts del 10 de desembre se celebra la festa major petita d'Hortsavinyà. Tradicionalment, sant Llop fou l'encarregat, en la fe cristiana, de guarir el mal de coll i l'afonia, i se'l relacionava amb alguns comportaments dels llops. Tot això ens porta a cercar els seus orígens en un personatge precristià, el pare Llop, un home que convivia amb un ramat de llops a les muntanyes. Una vegada a l'any baixava a les masies a cobrar un tribut, que calia pagar si es volia evitar l'atac dels llops al bestiar i a les persones. També era creença general, segons podem llegir als bestiaris medievals catalans, que si un home veia un llop abans que el llop a ell, la bèstia restava muda per sempre més, però si era el llop qui el veia primer, qui perdia la veu era l'home. Això darrer es produïa per l'ensurt que patia la persona en trobar-se el llop. D'aquí ve la relació de sant Llop amb l'afonia. Font: XPN

Dalt del cim de Pedracastell, presidint la vall, s'alça una gran creu, l'origen de la qual es remunta a l'any 1902, quan Domènech i Montaner, amb l'escultor Alfons Juyol, en va construir una de modernista, promoguda per Marià Serra. Una ventada la va tombar l'any 1925 i se'n va alçar una còpia, feta pel seu fill, Pere Domènech Roura, la qual va ser enderrocada pels anarquistes el 1936. La creu actual, de signe gaudinià, va ser erigida per Isidre Puig Boada, deixeble i col·laborador de l'arquitecte, l'any 1954. Font: Pobles de Catalunya

It is one of those spots that go unnoticed if you don't know what's there. It is an old spring, linked to the historic paths that connected Mataró with the interior, when these passes were usual work and transport routes. The name comes from a fig tree that traditionally gave shade to the place, marking the stopping point. Little-known detail: this area is part of a network of old rural roads that climb towards the Corredor, and the pass acted as a strategic point for passage and rest before the tougher sections. Even today, if you pay attention, the surroundings maintain that logic: a place to stop, regroup, and continue. A discreet corner, but with much more history than meets the eye.
