Sant Cristòfol de Monteugues Hermitage
Highlight • Religious Site
It already existed safely in 1021, when it was documented in writing, and in 1139 it was assigned, as a suffragan church of the parish of Sant Esteve de la Garriga, in the monastery of Santa Maria de l'Estany.
The legend says it was built by Lluís I el Pietós (the son of Charlemagne) when he was going to conquer Barcelona; the emperor would have won a battle with the Saracens in a nearby place (Pla de la Batalla) and in commemoration he built the hermitage.
On the day of Sant Cristòfol (July 10) there was an assembly organized by the owners of the Valls farmhouse to which the hermitage belongs. Cars and horses were blessed by the rector of the town of Figaró, a mass was called and then a sting was made. During the Mass the Glorious Goigs of San Cristóbal were sung.

Roca Centella Summit
Highlight • Summit
There is a legend based on the treasures hidden in natural spaces that mentions the Centella Rock or Centelles Rock: The belief says that on the Tagamanent road there is a rock called Centella, which when midnight arrives opens and leaves the passage free for the person who feels brave enough to ignore a snake that opens its mouth an inch and lets out chilling roars. Inside the Twinkle Rock there is an incalculable treasure that can be easily taken, but only during the brief time in which the twelve strokes of midnight sound, after which the rock closes again until next year at the same time, leaving the imprisoned person if he does not come out on time.

Roc de Centelles 2/2 Trail or Tsunami
Highlight • MTB Park
In Trailforks it is listed as Red, but on a personal level and being my average level in downhill trails, I would put it Blue.
In Trailforks it is called Roc de Centelles 2/2, although it is also known by the name Tsunami.

Vallfigueres Spring
Highlight • Natural Monument
To get there you can go from Cànoves in the direction of La Garriga along the BP-5107 road. At approximately kilometer point 38.8 we leave the access to the farm of Can Messeguer on the left (nowadays a riding school) and only a hundred meters further on we find a forest track that leaves on the right, barred to unauthorized motorized traffic . We can park the vehicle here, as there is space for two or three cars on the side of the road.

The Promenade
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
At the end of the 19th century, the town became a magnet for Barcelona's bourgeoisie, who found it a peaceful and pleasant place to spend the summer. The large summer resort area, full of large bourgeois towers, has the Paseo as its central axis.
Begun in 1878 and stretching over a kilometer, the Paseo is still the ideal place for a leisurely stroll and a deep dive into the relaxed, luxurious world of the bourgeoisie 100 years ago. At the same time, it is a prime example of the transformation of historic rural areas into new urbanized spaces, responding to very different social and economic needs.
