Sant Cristòfol de Monteugues Hermitage
Highlight • Religious Site
It already existed safely in 1021, when it was documented in writing, and in 1139 it was assigned, as a suffragan church of the parish of Sant Esteve de la Garriga, in the monastery of Santa Maria de l'Estany.
The legend says it was built by Lluís I el Pietós (the son of Charlemagne) when he was going to conquer Barcelona; the emperor would have won a battle with the Saracens in a nearby place (Pla de la Batalla) and in commemoration he built the hermitage.
On the day of Sant Cristòfol (July 10) there was an assembly organized by the owners of the Valls farmhouse to which the hermitage belongs. Cars and horses were blessed by the rector of the town of Figaró, a mass was called and then a sting was made. During the Mass the Glorious Goigs of San Cristóbal were sung.

Can Plans
Highlight • Mountain Hut
Can Plans is located on the outskirts of the Figaró-Montmany district, within the Montseny Natural Park, a UNESCO biosphere reserve. The project to recover the farmhouse and its surroundings follows the ancient principle of self-management of its own and surrounding resources, but taking advantage of new technologies and respecting the environment and conservation. Can Plans offers three rooms (two doubles and one duplex) with a total of nine beds and capacity for 11 people, as well as a study room. Breakfast is included in the room rate, and organic cuisine lunches and dinners are also served. The house has heating, air conditioning and wifi.

Figaró-Montmany
Highlight • Settlement
catalunya.com/figaro-montmany-2-1-81347?language=es
The current municipality of Figaró-Montmany was called Montmany de Puiggraciós until 1981. The current name reflects more than the previous one that the demographic and administrative center of the term is in the town of Figaró, located at the bottom of the Congost valley.
The limits of the municipal term roughly reproduce those of the old jurisdictional territory of Montmany Castle or, if you wish, the lands of the three parishes that it encompassed: Sant Pau de Montmany, Sant Pere de Vallcàrquera and Sant Cristòfol de Monteugues . If we look at the old ecclesiastical territories, it is only necessary to say that the current parish of Figaró has lost the sector of Puiggraciós, which corresponded to the parish of Montmany and which joined after the last civil war to that of Ametlla del Vallès .

Congost Riverside Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
This route consists of two different parts. The first is a circular itinerary within the Figaró area along the Riera de Vallcàquera stream.
The second is a linear route that goes from El Figaró to la Garriga following the river path of the Congost river, a pleasant walk through a riverside forest, reopened in 2006.
