Tips from the Community
Located at a strategic point between La Garriga and Figaró. In addition to the legend of Louis the Pious, what stands out is its practical use: for centuries it was a stop for the porters who came down from Montseny loaded with coal and firewood. There they would dismount their horses, have a drink and leave small offerings to Saint Christopher, patron saint of travelers. Until the 1940s it was common to find horseshoes hanging there as protection. The esplanade still maintains the atmosphere of a place of passage and a place to rest before continuing on their journey.

Local tradition explains that the hermitage was subjected to strong flooding of the stream for years, to the point that some documents from the 19th century mention minor repairs “due to water damage”. Field blessings were also held there before the harvest, a common practice in the surrounding farmhouses. The final access is on foot, short and clear once you pass the chain. A discreet place, surrounded by forest and stream, which preserves the calm typical of the old points of rural devotion.

On the outskirts of L’Ametlla del Vallès, this circuit is tucked away among pine forests and dirt tracks. Everyone from kids on minicross bikes to riders who later competed in the national championship has trained here. On dry days, the roar of the motorcycles mingles with the smell of dirt and gasoline. Some locals recall that, back in the 80s, more than one local racer would ride right in from home, helmet in hand, on a motorcycle without a license plate. Today, it remains a classic for those who prefer mud and adrenaline to asphalt.

Legend has it that in the 19th century, during a fierce storm, lightning struck the bell tower and the bells rang on their own as the villagers ran for shelter. No one was hurt, but ever since, it is said that when they ring with a long echo, "Sant Julià warns of rain." Beyond the legend, the truth is that the church has witnessed millennia—Visigothic remains still lie hidden beneath its foundations—and continues to set the rhythm of the village, amidst the ancient clang of the bronze bells and the scent of damp earth.

The hermitage of Sant Valerià is located within the grounds of the Can Coscó farmhouse. A few centuries ago, it was located a few blocks down, but during the war against Felipe V, the hermitage was badly damaged and, to protect it, it was moved inside the grounds of Mas Coscó. Thus, the new construction dates from the beginning of the 18th century. Saint Valerià and Saint Cecilia preside over the altar.
