Tips from the Community
Narrow and very entertaining trail through the forest, with curves, roots and some loose dirt sections. It has some technical sections, ups and downs. Better to control your speed. Almost all of it is in the shade, although there are also some clearings with good views. Very fun downhill.

For centuries it was the Sunday getaway of the surrounding villages, and it is said that, on foggy days, the bell tower served as a guide to orientate oneself among the paths of the mountain range. Old meetings and gatherings were held on the esplanade, and you can still see the space where people sat to have breakfast after the climb. The access is direct and sustained, and the arrival offers a clear view of the sea and mountains that explains why Sant Mateu has always been a point of passage and a mandatory stop.

In addition to the spout and the pond, it preserves the old paved landing where, according to the long-time residents, people who went up to the sanctuary stopped to have a drink and “gain strength”. For decades it was a meeting point for hikers and farmers, and it was said that if the spring flowed strongly, a good year of rain would come. The access is short and easy, and the clearing in the surrounding forest still maintains the cool and shady atmosphere of the routes of the past.

The most valuable thing about Sant Cebrià is not inside the hermitage. Its old Romanesque altar frontal, an extraordinary medieval piece, ended up far from here and is today preserved in the Museu Episcopal de Vic; in the hermitage there is a reproduction. It also had a Gothic altarpiece that ended up in the MNAC of Barcelona. After centuries of neglect, the building reached the 20th century with part of the apse practically collapsed and had to be recovered by local residents and organizations between the 70s and 80s. The hermitage survived; part of its treasures, on the other hand, are scattered across the museums of Catalonia.

It's a marina and fishing port, opened in 2005. It has paid parking and restaurants. It's a good place for a stroll.

It's one of Badalona's symbols, but access can sometimes be closed. It's well worth a visit.
