The Museu Molí Paperer de Capellades is a museum dedicated to the paper industry, located in the town of Capellades, in the Catalan region of l'Anoia. The museum occupies the old premises of a paper mill, called Molí de la Vila, which preserves the structure of the paper mills of the 18th century. Next to the building there is an artificial lake fed by a water source, known as the "bassa" and which is fed by the Carme - Capellades aquifer. The museum explains the history of papermaking, and preserves original tools for manual papermaking. In fact, in its underground premises paper is still made with these artisanal techniques.

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

This fountain is located on a road very frequented by road cyclists, since it is located in a section whose passage is mandatory if you go to or come from Sant Quintí de Mediona, Canaletes, Sant Joan de Mediona or Capellades. The water that flows from the pipe is very fresh and tastes good, and it is not uncommon to find people filling jugs. If you politely ask to be able to fill your drum, you can skip the "turn" and thus continue your route well supplied with water.

Narrow road without cars where we will find an easy dirt road. 11.6km of uphill and 3% average gradient due to the various breaks it presents. Maximum slope of 8.4%. Very advisable.
