Public Water Fountain in Riells del Fai

Highlight • Rest Area

The map says there are no fountains in this town, but there is one right at the bus stop. And if not, there's a small shop in the town square where you can buy water and other things.

Molí de la Madella

Highlight • Historical Site

Rectangular building with two different heights. It retains part of the mill structure, with the carcaba at the bottom and some grinding wheels inside. On a side wall of the floor you can still guess the bread oven. The facades are plastered in poor mortar. Of note in the building are the well-worked openings with jambs and Ilindes, as well as the portal and a canopy window inside the farmhouse. This window provides us with data to date the building, as the canopy windows date back to the 15th century.

The mill retains the pond on an upper edge of the land. It is currently used exclusively as an irrigation pond. The water reaches it through a channel that carries the water that collects, above, the dam of the plant.

Sant Miquel del Fai

Highlight • Historical Site

The Monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai is one of the most surprising must-sees for those who pass through Barcelona. It is located just 50 kilometers from the Catalan capital and is one of those places that you fall in love with. The church, on top of a mountain and suspended over the cliff (it seems magic), leaves one of the most special visions of the Catalan mountain range. A hidden treasure known to few, located in the middle of a beautiful natural environment near the town of Bigues i Riells.

When you enter the natural area, everything captures the senses. The Monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai almost hangs from the cliff of the mountain at the top, presiding over a space where rock and water roam freely. The route to the Monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai is a spectacular walk, which can be done on foot or by car to reach the historic site. The visit to the church is paid, as the site has owners and is private property. But paying for them is worth it.
