Let yourself be seduced by Maresme and the magic of its forests. This region is one of the largest and most visited in Catalonia and is one of the most important tourist destinations in the country and most recommended after visiting the best things to do in Barcelona.
The versatility of Maresme offers from mountain plans, routes full of history and the best leisure offers in its beautiful coasts. But this time we will let ourselves be carried away by the charm of nature and the outdoor plans offered by this spectacular region.
In this route through Maresme we will visit the sites of the Foradada Vallromanes rock and the Mirador de la Cornisa, so we recommend you to bring prepared food, drinks for the road and good hiking shoes. In addition, this plan is ideal to do it in the afternoon, as it includes a walk through the forest and a viewpoint to enjoy the beautiful views of the Maresme.
To begin with, we will be delighted by the wonderful environment of the Vallromanes forest, discovering the“Cova de la Foradada“: a curious stone with a central hole that attracts many curious people every weekend.
We finally ended up relaxing on one of the benches at the Mirador de la Cornisa, while appreciating the incredible views of the illuminated maritime villages and taking a look at the panoramic views of the town.
Vallromanes Foradada Rock
This curious rock is located in the Serralada Litoral park and is one of the oldest and most representative archaeological remains of the strip.
Why visit a rock in the middle of the forest? There is a very interesting reason. Neolithic buildings were mostly made of stones, which made them a great engineering challenge for the time, so finding such an ancient rock in perfect condition is really amazing. And if it were only this rock, during this hiking route it is likely to find remains of monoliths, dolmens and other legacies of a few centuries ago.
That is why the route that takes us to the Cova de la Foradada, can be an incredible outdoor experience surrounded by history and adventure, to share with groups of friends, enjoy with family or with your partner.
Cornisa Viewpoint
This space was adapted in 2004, with the purpose of appreciating the views of Sant Mateu and as an additional privilege some important landmarks of Catalonia such as: the mountain of Montjuic, Tibidabo, La Conreria, the valley of Teià, the hills on the valley side, as well as Montserrat, La Mola and Sant Llorenç del Munt.
Undoubtedly the Mirador de la Cornisa is a privilege for nature and for tourists because in this place you can enjoy all the comfort of services such as tables, benches, recreation areas and public restrooms. Making the visit much more pleasant and comfortable. And it is right here where we will take out our sandwiches and enjoy the best sunset in the whole province of Barcelona.
