Tips from the Community
If you cycle through Granollers, this park is a good place to slow down for a moment. It's quite large, has a huge pond, and probably the most curious thing is that part of what you see in and around the water isn't just decoration. It's a work by the Granollers artist Jordi Benito: there are granite blocks with musical scores, a mathematical formula, a large infinity symbol, and a circle of stones inspired by Berlin's Wannsee lake, used here as a symbol of memory and history. So, although at first glance it might just seem like an urban park to cross by bike, there's quite a bit more behind it. A good place to stop for five minutes, take a walk around the pond, and discover the different elements of the work before continuing your route.

La Garriga has two cycle paths and numerous paths to explore by bicycle. The exit from Plaza del Silencio passes through the Paseo where you can see summer heritage. Next, you advance through the Narcisa Freixas square until you reach Can Terreros where you can see the archaeological remains of Can Terreros. Continue over the bridge on Bages Street and Ramon Ciurans Street. Finally. It connects with the river path in Llerona, Rosanes and La Almendra, in a route of 3.9km. This route can be done up to 35km to reach Besós beach in a gradient of just under 100 meters. It descends comfortably parallel to the river, scanning the river, which is on the right, and crop fields on the left. As you go down, you reach a landscape that becomes more urban and industrial. The path has no discontinuity.

An artificially created place, but it is a recommended place to relax, watching the birds in the lake, then there is a part for children and a car park.

The distance between the church of La Doma and the town suggested building a new temple within the urban core, an agreement that was taken in 1685, but which was not completed until 1737, when it was blessed the church of Sant Esteve. The initial project was signed by the house master Giralt Cerdà, but the masters Ramon Fort, Pau Fadrí and Antoni Alsiu also worked on it. It is known that in 1693 the works were already quite advanced. In a corner of the facade, there is a square with an inscription alluding to the death of a worker in 1691. It is a building with three naves, the central one covered with a barrel vault with lunettes and topped with a semicircular apse. Attached to the left side is the Santíssimo chapel. On the north-east side there is the bell tower, with a square plan, with three bodies, the upper octagonal. It is crowned with a metal structure of ogival arches. The portal is quite monumental. It is presided over by a modern image of Saint Stephen, the work of local artist Ferran Ventura. In 1880 the temple had to be closed due to its poor condition and was not reopened until three years later. In 1926, the staircase was built, designed by Josep M. Pericas. Damaged during the Civil War, it had to be restored by Duran and Reynals, who also built the new baptistery.
