In the 11th century, a network of turrets served as a complement to the defensive task of the castles. Situated on ridge lines, they allowed colonists to keep an eye on Saracen armies and communicate their arrival by means of optical signals sent from one tower to another. Most of the watchtowers were made of wood and only a minority were built of stone. La Torrotta de Vacarisses presents the particularity of having a circular floor plan and that its openings are finished off with semicircular arches. The last 100 meters to access Torrota with the mountain bike are difficult, you have to push and save some natural rock steps, but it is well worth getting closer also for the views that are exceptional.

The Font dels Llaminers is an intermittent spring of water, located on the right bank of the Riera de Rellinars that flows in episodes of continuous rain. To access it, it is necessary to take the Camino de Les Boades, and once you have passed the Font de Carlets, some two hundred meters further up, on the right, the forest disappears and gives way to some conglomerate walls. In this place, the bed and the channels of the stream are a rocky platform with eroded channels, through which the water circulates.

The last 50 meters before reaching the tower run along a non-cyclable path where you will have to push the bike. From Torrota de Vacarisses you will enjoy an excellent view of the town, the urbanizations and of course: Montserrat. To return, the best thing is to go back along the same path until the last track that we had left behind and continue the descent towards Vacarisses town.

Another of the great farmhouses in the term of Vacarisses, this one of the most isolated, although, surely, one of the best preserved, due to the good care of its current owners. It is one of the oldest in the term of which there is evidence, since it is already spoken of in the fourteenth century, preserving its appearance of a certain fortification, since it is completely closed by walls that seem to act as a wall. It is known that the main farmhouse was deeply remodeled at the beginning of the 19th century thanks to the good time that the vineyard was living and that it allowed good income to the owners. Its current overall appearance is quite good.
