Top 8 Caves around Maresme

Artificial cave, man-made.... L'Aram... which means copper. Old site for the extraction of copper and iron, currently disused, with a depth of about 25 meters. The lower gallery is disabled. It does not represent danger.. Just caution...!!

More than just a place where people lived, this site stands out because it doesn't quite fit the classic settlement pattern of the area. Its location, nestled between rock and forest, suggests it wasn't a permanent settlement, but rather a site used at very specific times: seasonal migrations, hunting trips, or gatherings of small groups. A unique feature is that the remains of highly fragmented occupations have been documented at this location, suggesting it was a "ritual passage" rather than a long-term encampment. Some scholars even propose that its irregular layout among the rocks could indicate symbolic activities or territorial markers, something uncommon in other sites in the area.

A small cave hidden in a crevice of Montseny, damp and cool even in the height of summer. Its name comes from the constant croaking of frogs from the nearby stream, which seem to guard the entrance at dusk. Locals say that during storms, forest animals would take refuge inside, and that a hiker once found an old, rusty lantern hanging from the rock, as if someone had left it there to return.

Former copper mine, the entrance of which is now closed with a barred door.

Using information that bikers usually give me, I was able to find it, but it was difficult because it is still a disaster area. The mine is very close to Can Montsant and although its name mentions gold, copper was extracted as J. M. indicates. I was inside the mine, which is barely twenty meters deep. There are also remains of tunnels through which they supposedly extracted more mineral. What I was most interested in was finding some mineral samples, but I only found a few small pieces of malachite. As I said, it was very difficult to find it, getting into brambles and ending up covered in cuts everywhere. I tried to go somewhere else and when I passed a mound I found some samples of malachite. As it was already late and the heat was pressing, I left it for another day. A few months have passed and a few days ago I came back with better weather. I found more samples of malachite in quartz, but no trace of azurite. Well, I guess it's malachite, although I'd like some pieces to be turquoise in color, haha, but anyway, to me they're very interesting and pretty. Regards.

It is an entrance to an old iron mine. Now used by bats. Not possible to explore the mine.😉

Iberian sanctuary in the municipality of Cabrera de Mar (Maresme). It is located in an area of Montcabrer that is difficult to access. It has a double entrance, in front of which a large number of offerings have been documented (about 50,000 ceramic fragments), consisting essentially of various types of tableware, amphorae, miniature votive amphorae, perfume containers, ceramic replicas of bovine horns, terracotta heads of Demeter and some coins. It was frequented from the 4th century BC until the turn of the century, with a special intensity in the period between 125 BC and 50 BC.
