Pi d'en Xandri
Highlight • Natural Monument
It is a stone pine (pinus pinea) and is located in the Torre Negra rural park. It has a considerable height -23 meters- and a trunk of 3.20 meters in diameter. Its crown is 21 meters wide and has a peculiar shape, like a parasol, with a wayward, half-naked branch. The Pi d'en Xandri lost part of its branches due to the snow that accumulated on Christmas night in the year 62, when a formidable snowfall covered Catalonia in white. In 1997 some vandals tried to saw it off and set it on fire. It was necessary to graft a piece of live trunk so that the sap could circulate again and it was held with the trunks that surround it today to facilitate its healing.

Masia de Can Borrell
Highlight • Restaurant
The first historical references of human settlements in the place where Can Borrell is located today, take us back many centuries. Hau appointments that speak of finds of fragments of Iberian and Roman pottery in the surroundings.
Due to its location on the old road from Sant Cugat to Barcelona and a place of passage to Sant Medir, the farmhouse became an obligatory stopping place, first for the peasants of the region who brought their products to the capital, and later for hikers. and pilgrims from Sant Medir. On the day of this celebration, the house opened its front and back doors and became one more part of the road. On the way back, there was a dance and the last sardana del Aplec was danced. Until recently, the last dance of the festival was still held here.
The passage of hikers and other people meant that they began to serve lunch and drinks and, in view of its success, it became the restaurant that it is today.
