Rupit Cross

Highlight • Monument

Contrary to popular belief, the Creu de Rupit toponym refers to a crossroads. It is an old word, similar to others in the Maresme area: Collsacreu, Creueta, Creu de Canet. All of them refer to points where paths cross.

Geographically, the Creu de Rupit is the hill that separates the basins of the Sobirans and Canyamars streams, an important crossroads that leads to different places in the Vallès and the Maresme. Furthermore, at this point of Rupit there has always been a cross; It is an emblematic element that constitutes a landmark within the landscape of the Rupit environment.

The landscape up here combines open spaces, such as the Rupit plain, with spaces with dense forests of pines, holm oaks and cork oaks.

Watchtower of El Corredor

Highlight • Monument

Watchtower located next to the summit of El Corredor, very close to the sanctuary. From here, a huge expanse of forest is controlled, and during the summer campaign, it is part of the forest fire surveillance and detection system. Next to the tower is also the geodesic vertex of El Corredor.

As a curiosity, these mountains have been used for centuries as observation points. In the El Far area, the ancient Torrassa del Moro was part of a territorial surveillance system in which the towers could communicate by smoke during the day and fire at night.

Means have changed a lot, but the function has not changed so much: from these heights, the forest and a large part of the territory surrounding El Corredor continue to be monitored.

Font de la Figuerassa

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Figuerassa spring (nopal in Spanish) is in an ideal corner to take a break and take the opportunity to eat some manduca, although, in the spring and summer, the mosquitoes can become very annoying. This spring usually flows, although, like all natural springs, it has no health guarantee.

Around the fountain we find bananas that, together with the large fern that is also planted there and is already living its last years, bring shade and freshness to the place. In addition, above the fountain, among the oaks of the oak grove, you will be able to see some other large-leaved oak.
