Before the telephone, radio, or internet, messages could also travel at high speed. This tower was part of a 19th-century optical telegraph network: from the top, a system of mechanical signals was observed with telescopes from the next tower, which repeated the message to the following one. Thus, information could cover enormous distances without anyone having to transport it physically. And here comes the curious part: Puigmarí was just one link in a real chain of towers that communicated Barcelona with the French border. From here, visual contact had to be maintained with the neighboring towers. If you reach it, look at the landscape and try to locate where the next one could be seen from. Suddenly you understand why they built the tower exactly here and not a hundred meters lower. A kind of 19th-century internet, but with towers, telescopes, and signals.

Sant Martí de Montnegre Una església aïllada dins del Parc Natural del Montnegre, de gran valor per la seva integració en el paisatge forestal. És un punt de referència en les rutes de l'interior.

The river here isn't channeled: it expands, dries up, or overflows depending on the season, creating a changing landscape of riparian forest and gravel. It's a great place to understand how a real Mediterranean river works and to ride at a leisurely pace, letting the terrain and surroundings set the rhythm.

Fortress never taken by assault, only by blockade, with a system of mine tunnels more extensive than it seems and 18th century bastions hiding under a medieval appearance. The covered path that surrounds it is one of the best preserved in Catalonia and recalls its key role in the wars, when Hostalric was considered the “key to the north” of the country. A short point to see but with a lot of hidden history.

Good for getting around without encountering other cars, right next to the motorway and not necessarily the most scenic route due to the straight route.

Fantastic path suitable for mountain biking and gravel. Beautiful trees and fields. If it has rained days before you may find a few puddles with mud.
