Sant Feliu de Codines is a municipality in the Vallès Oriental region. The town stands out for being located at the foot of the suggestive cliffs of Sant Adurní. Due to the beautiful nature that surrounds it, Sant Feliu de Codines became a summer resort for the Catalan bourgeoisie in the 20th century. For this reason, if you take a walk through the town you will be able to see several manor houses.

Cim d'Àligues, a center specializing in birds of prey, organizes various activities throughout the year with the aim of making visitors aware of the particularities of these birds. One of the proposals consists of observing the flight of these birds at a short distance for 45 minutes, with the aim of getting to know their main characteristics better. As the public observes the swift flight of the hawks, the silent flight of the owl, the elegant gliding of the eagle..., various specialists explain the differences between the species that can be seen. Cim d'Àligues opens from Tuesday to Sunday. To check the flight observation session times, visit their website. If it rains, the activities are cancelled.

La balma d'en Xec is located on the Bassella road. You can get there by passing the Cim d'Àligues track. An old waterfall has eroded the cliffs to form these balms. In addition, the titanic effort of the peasantry turned this rugged and unexplored area into fertile plains, which did not lack water thanks to the rainwater that flowed from it. This balma served as a refuge for farmers and livestock. It is currently in very good condition and is well worth a visit.

03/24/2022 The Sant Miquel del Fai site remains closed for works and will partially reopen to the public once the works on the car park and the conditioning of the external spaces are finished. In this sense, visitors are reminded that they cannot access it until the opening is made. The conditioning works began with the actions related to the natural environment to be able to guarantee the safety of all visitors. In this sense, sanitation and stabilization works were carried out on the cliff up to the waterfall of the Tenes river. The security of the facilities has been strengthened, with work to stabilize the slopes and renew the 1,500 meters of railings throughout the circuit, the lighting and the external wiring. The Diputació de Barcelona has owned the Sant Miquel del Fai complex since 2017, the year in which it acquired it with the intention of adapting it. It has been closed to the public since then, in order to carry out the necessary conditioning works and decide on its use plan and management as a space within the Natural Parks Network. The downpours and the COVID-19 pandemic have delayed the works. The complex of Sant Miquel del Fai is a Cultural Asset of National Interest and is included in the Plan of Areas of Natural Interest of the Cingles de Bertí, which is why the adaptation works have been fully adjusted to the conservation objectives patrimonial In December 2018, the Diputació de Barcelona also acquired the cartulary of the Benedictine monastery of Sant Miquel del Fai, a document from the 14th century of great historical importance.
