The best MTB trails around Sant Joan De Vilatorrada

On the old Rajadell road, parallel to the transversal axis or C25, between Manresa and Rajadell, there are some places where you can get food.

Small fountain located in the vicinity of the Mas Massana, in the middle of a pine forest. As a built element, it is a small fountain built at the ground level on a small concrete pond that collects water from the fountain and drains it into a small channel.

The archaeological site of Sant Amanç de Viladés is made up of a Roman villa, an early medieval settlement and some remains from the Iberian period. The entire site is located on the southern side of a mountain range, crossed by the C-25 road in the section that goes from Rajadell to Calaf and which divides the whole into two parts: north and south. The importance of the Roman town of Rajadell is understood by the presence of a Roman road that connected the lands of the Manresa sector with those of Calaf and Prats de Rei (ancient Roman municipality of Sigarra). The route of this road had to necessarily follow the Rajadell stream very closely as it passed through the Roman town. Passing through this place is the most suitable for moving between the Bages and Anoia regions, as indicated by the Peric oratory, located at the foot of the N-141g and parallel to the Eix Transversal C-25. The appearance that the site has now corresponds to the plan of the Low Empire. Currently the road crosses the Roman site and divides the remains of the Roman villa into two sectors. The northern sector corresponds to the residential area or pars urbana, with an elongated structure, where the noble rooms and the set of terms are located. The southern sector is on flatter terrain and was intended for agricultural work, especially wheat and vines (pars rustica). At the western end of the villa there were bathrooms, characterized by different air-conditioned spaces, with areas of hot, warm and cold water and with the oven to heat the whole. The main body of the residential area consists of three rooms, one of which preserved a polychrome mosaic. The original is in the Museu Comarcal de Manresa, and a reproduction of part of it can be seen at Rajadell Town Hall.

Either on the way up or down, usually between Calaf and Manresa, it is a good point to refuel, hydrate and rest.

Passage point on the route to Sant Joan de Vilatorrada, where we will find shade, a bench to rest on and a fountain to fill with water.

Very cute after it rained

Technical route with some unevenness

The Torres de Fals is a really interesting place. It is formed by the remains of the old castle of the town of Fals. There are two towers and a church separated from the town by a ravine.
