Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor is a natural and historic park in Barcelona (province) of Catalonia in Spain. It protects the splendid pine forests of the coastal slope, and the holm oak, oak and cork forests of the interior of the massif. There are Neolithic dolmens, Iberian remains and medieval churches scattered in a diverse landscape of crops, forests and farmhouses, the product of the agroforestry uses over centuries.

History
[edit]The park boasts a rich history deeply intertwined with the natural beauty it now preserves. Its story dates back centuries, with evidence of human habitation since the Paleolithic era. In medieval times, the park's lands were the backdrop for feudal disputes and the construction of castles like Montpalau.
As the centuries passed, the park's forests provided valuable timber for shipbuilding during Spain's maritime expansion. In the 20th century, it became a refuge for guerrilla fighters in the Spanish Civil War.
Today, this protected area stands as a testament to the region's ecological diversity and its historical significance.
Landscape
[edit]The Montnegre and the Corredor constitute a compact and continuous mountainous complex of rather gentle relief with a landscape reshaped by human activity and covered in exuberant Mediterranean forests. The two massifs are, however, very different. Montnegre, bigger and steeper, is also wilder and more impenetrable. The Corridor, on the other hand, shows a gentler and gentler relief, with rounded shapes due to erosion that have favored the agricultural occupation of even the central areas. More than 95% of the park's surface is forested.
Flora and fauna
[edit]
The geographical location, topography, and climatic variations between the inland slopes and those facing the sea influence and diversify the vegetation covering these mountain ranges. The proximity of the sea, which provides an additional degree of environmental humidity, especially in summer, also promotes the development of lush vegetation enriched with numerous Central European and even Atlantic species.
The most widespread formations are holm oak forests and evergreen oaks, with the latter favored by the economic interest associated with the cork industry. Stone pine forests, also very abundant, characterize the landscape of the coastal slopes of Maresme, where they occupy vineyards and abandoned crops over the past 150 years.
At the higher elevations of Montnegre, the cork oak groves and large-leaved oak groves stand out for their scientific and scenic interest. Amidst the oaks, a wide variety of Central European-affinity plant species grow, including some beech trees that persist due to the high humidity on the ridges.
In the sheltered areas of Montnegre, among hazel groves and evergreen oak forests, there are still significant chestnut tree plantations. Magnificent alder groves are preserved in the wetter lowlands and along the banks of numerous streams and rivers flowing towards the Tordera River.
The park host a rich and varied wildlife population. Among the inhabitants are large mammals like wild boars and roe deer, along with various bird species, including raptors and migrating birds. The well-preserved forests provide habitats for Mediterranean and Central European forest-dwelling species. Notably, this region is part of a major bird migration route in the Western Mediterranean. Open areas support a variety of predators and herbivores, contributing to the area's ecological richness and making it a significant wildlife observation site.
Climate
[edit]The climate within Montnegre i el Corredor Natural Park exhibits fascinating variations due to its geographical location and topography. It experiences the influence of both the Mediterranean Sea and the inland areas. This results in climatic diversity between the interior slopes and those facing the sea. The proximity of the sea brings additional humidity, particularly during the summer, fostering lush vegetation that includes Central European and even Atlantic species.

- 1 El Corredor Sanctuary (Santuari del Corredor). Sanctuary at the top of a mountain, great views. There is also a restaurant (open on week-ends only). The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Corredor is located very close to the summit (633.5 m (2,078 ft) above sea level) of the Corredor mountain range. It is built in a late Gothic style and was constructed in the late 16th century. It is a center of devotion in the region and has a great tradition of the pilgrimage that takes place on Easter Monday. The origin of the sanctuary is believed to be a chapel built around 1530 by the farmer Salvi Arenes, from the parish of Sant Andreu del Far. The original image of Our Lady of Socors, created by this same farmer, was replaced by a new image in 1815 and moved to another location within the sanctuary. free.
- 2 Sant Martí de Montnegre. There is Sant Martí de Montnegre church, and also a hostel. Great views of Montseny mountain. The current church dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Montnegre is mentioned in 1022, and the church was at first associated with the Castle of Montnegre, the center of an extensive jurisdiction that also included Fuirosos, la Batllòria, and Gualba. Until 1867, la Batllòria was dependent on it, and it had the parish of Sant Cebrià de Fuirosos as its subsidiary. It is known to have undergone repairs in 1379. Similarly, in 1737 and 1739, a church visitor noted the need for significant repairs. In 1776, Bishop Gabino de Valladares visited the parish church, which was then constructed.
- 3 Santa Maria del Montnegre Hermitage. Built in the 18th century, it was demolished during the Civil War and only three walls remained standing, until it was restored in 2009 thanks to a private initiative.
- 4 Santa Eulàlia de Tapioles church. The old church of Santa Eulàlia de Tapioles had been a monastic cell. Documented since 878 in a confirmation by the Frankish king Louis the Humble that links it to the see of Barcelona as "cell of Sant Genís and Santa Eulàlia de Tapioles", near the town of Pinells, in 986 it was confirmed to the monastery of Sant Cugat. The chapel, which was in ruins in 1373 but in 1850, Josep Pradell, owner of the farmhouse of Can Pradell de la Serra, renovated the building giving it a Baroque look. He built the cemetery, the bell tower and the winding profile crowning of the main facade which has not been preserved. He also decorated the exteriors with sgraffitos of geometric motifs similar to those of the farmhouse of Can Pradell.
- 5 Mare de Déu de Llorita ruins. Sanctuary in ruins, at the foot of the royal road, within the property of Can Lloreda. The chapel was administered by the Llavaneres Town Council since 1628 through a hermit who lived in the annexes to the chapel. Every year a gathering was held there. In the 18th century pastoral visits it was considered a "community hermitage", probably because it was administered by the town council and not by the owners. In the 19th century. The Barcelona doctor Francesc Colom bought Can Lloreda and started a lawsuit to evict the hermit. In 1829 the Town Council had to give the keys to the chapel and the house and the altarpiece and the image were moved to the village parish.
- 6 Capella de la Mare de Déu de l'Erola. It is a roadside chapel located 500 m from the church of Sant Llop d'Hortsavinyà, coming from Sant Pere de Riu and Vallmanya. It is a small chapel with a simple oratory for praying, where there is the image of the Virgin of Erola. Due to the neoclassical style, it was probably built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A gathering is held there on the Sunday of the second Easter.
Prehistoric places
[edit]
- 7 Dolmen de Pedra Gentil. It is a megalithic structure, dating back approximately 4,000 years, is a burial chamber of the so-called single-chamber type. Traditionally, it has been believed to be a gathering place for witches, and to this day, popular celebrations are held there on the night of Saint John. The top stone is broken, and some of the seven supporting stones have been relocated and supplemented to maintain its original height. The original appearance is unknown, although it is documented that the dolmen was restored in 1885.
- 8 Ca l’Arenes Dolmen. It is a megalithic tomb of the Catalan small gallery type, attributed to an age of about 5,000 years, dating from the Late Neolithic period. It was discovered in 1997 and was excavated and restored by archaeologists between 2006 and 2007.
- 9 Dolmen del Trull (On the C-61 road, from Sant Celoni to Vallgorguina, between km 14 and 13, before reaching Vallgorguina, a track goes off to the right that goes up towards the Santuari del Corredor passing by the Pedra Gentil dolmen. In about 4.5 km you reach the Trull farmhouse. 300 m after a 90° bend to the right, there is a wooded hill on the left side of the main track. At the top of this hill are the remains of the dolmen.). The dolmen preserves the remains of a possible roof mound and six worked granite slabs, all fallen and scattered on the summit and slopes of a pass after the destruction and plundering of the tomb. A large, four-sided, well-worked anthropomorphic slab, halfway up the NW slope, could be part of the roof or a menhir.
- 10 Pedra de les Olles. The Pedra de les Olles or Pedra del Pla dels Forcs is a grouping of large granite stones with more than twenty insculptures in small bowls engraved by humans. It presents insculpted motifs of small bowls, which in other areas is related to the megalithic phenomenon, at a time that should be dated between the middle/late Neolithic and the Chalcolithic, a period in which this type of graphic representations on stone are frequent.
Other buildings
[edit]- 11 Canyamars Snow Well (Pou de Glaç de Canyamars). Used to make ice and store it. Construction from the 17th-18th centuries. In the southern part, there are two brick arches, which are assumed to have been the supports for the ramp that connected the well with a pond located further up. From this pond, when the water froze, blocks of ice were sent down to the well. Inside the well, layers of ice and straw were created to preserve it until summer, the time of year when it was commercialized.
- 12 Dosrius Castle (Castell de Dosrius). A small castle in ruins dated back in 1114. Initially a fortified structure, became linked to the Sant Vicenç de Montalt castle in the 11th century. By 1114, it fell under the jurisdiction of the Benedictine monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres. The Dosrius family, holding lands that included Canyamars, was vassal to this castle, later passing to the Cartellà family in 1277. In 1453, the Cartellàs bought full dominion over the castle and the Dosrius barony from Casserres. They took the titles of barons of Dosrius and Canyamars. Over time, they merged with the Sentmenat family, retaining control until the old regime's end. In 1690, King Charles II of Spain created the Marquesat de Castelldosrius, awarded to Manuel de Sentmenat Oms de Santa Pau, more than a century after the Sant Pere de Casserres community ceased to exist.
- 13 Palafolls Castle (Castell de de Palafolls). Palafolls Castle has a history dating back to 1035 when it formed the Barony of Palafolls, encompassing Palafolls, Malgrat, Santa Susanna, and part of Blanes. In 1113, Ramon Berenguer granted the major lordship to the Viscounts of Girona, later known as the Cabrera family. However, the lesser sovereignty remained with Palafolls. The Palafolls family acquired the County of Ariza. In the 14th century, a conflict led to Guillem de Palafolls becoming a royal arms advisor. He eventually sold the castle to King Peter for the Castle of Ariza. Subsequently, the castle passed to the Cabrera family. In the 16th century, it underwent renovations to reinforce coastal defenses against pirates. By the 18th century, it fell into disuse and decay. It changed ownership several times until becoming state property in 1880. Today, the "Friends of Palafolls Castle" organization works to preserve it, with architect Joan Bassegoda i Nonell restoring its church in 1971.
Natural places
[edit]- 14 Olzinelles Valley. Starting from Sant Celoni there are a road and paths to Olzinelles Valley. It is located to the south of the municipal area of Sant Celoni. Olzinelles is connected to it via the local road BV-5112 and to Vallgorguina through a forest track. At the center of this dispersed settlement, you'll find the Church of Sant Esteve d'Olzinelles, which was documented as early as 1083, although it underwent renovations in the 16th century. The place was mentioned as Vallis Ollofredis in 1179, in 1331 as Castrum Eulofredii or Vallis de Ulzinellis, and in other texts of that time as Oltzinelles, Olzinelles, Ulzinelles, or Otzinelles. The 1360 census recorded nine households in the so-called parish of Aulineles. In 1421, the parish of Olzinelles incorporated that of Vilardell, another dispersed settlement within the present-day municipality of Sant Celoni. The 1553 census already contained the name "parish of Sant Esteve d'Alzinelles."
- 15 Hortsavinyà. This hamlet has a long history. The first records of the Church of Santa Eulàlia d'Hortsavinyà date back to the year 1080. Notable on the esplanade are the beautiful Church of Sant Llop, the Church of Santa Eulàlia d'Hortsavinyà, the hermitage of l'Erola, and Sant Miquel de Vallmanya. You can also admire the giant holm oaks of Can Portell (which was damaged by lightning in 2009) and the oak tree of Santa Maria (which fell in 2010). The latter was cataloged by the Generalitat as one of the most spectacular trees in Catalonia; it took 4 people to hug it, but it fell on January 10, 2010, due to heavy snowfall, and now only its fallen remains can be visited. You can reach Hortsavinyà from Pineda de Mar by walking along Quatre Camins or by taking the Camí de les Costes, following the river upstream. Both routes are beautiful and pass through holm oak forests, pine groves, and magnificent chestnut forests.
- 16 Turó Gros mountain (there is a route to acces the top starting fom Sant marti de Montnegre.). The Turó Gros or Telefonista Hill is a 766-meter mountain located in the municipality of Sant Celoni, in the Vallès Oriental region. At the top we can find a geodesic vertex. It is one of the 100 emblematic peaks of Catalonia. In 2014 the Department of the Interior decided to close the watchtower located on the hill. The top is in the middle of a forest, so no views from the top.
- 17 Parc Forestal. Visit the mountains above Mataró and enjoy a typical Mediterranean forest.
