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.

Beyond the green and open route that everyone knows, this space occupies old areas of cultivation and wet meadows that, until the 1970s, served as pasture for the livestock of several farmhouses in the area. Even today, under some unevenness in the terrain, you can sense the old layout of the fields and dry stone banks. During its construction, some traditional water channels were respected, which continue to drain part of the subsoil. Access is easy and the environment maintains that combination of plain and forest typical of the foot of Montseny. A place where the agricultural past still rears its head if you pay a little attention.

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.
