Tips from the Community
Sant Miquel del Fai is a monastery with a church that is integrated into a system of natural caves carved into limestone cliffs. The complex combines excavated chambers with built walls, creating interconnected spaces where the cave and the building blend. The monastery was founded in the early 11th century and functioned as a religious community for several centuries. Its use as a monastery declined in the 16th century, although the structures remained and retained their religious significance. The church was carved directly into the rock, creating a space where the building and the cave meet. This fusion between human structure and nature has defined how people have experienced this place.

This road is very pleasant. The asphalt is in good condition and the gradient is constant. The vegetation of Montseny covers the summit and provides shade, which is very pleasant on warm days.

Roda de Ter grew on the banks of the Ter river, which for centuries powered mills, workshops, and textile industries. Today it combines the charm of a traditional Catalan village with a pleasant riverside walk that invites you to pause before continuing the Route.
