We can start our route with the Burriac Castel in Cabrera de Mar, which continues to preside over the Maresme region from the top of a 400 meters hill. Its structure has been consolidated so it is possible to visit it. Part of the walls have survived the passage of time. From the top of the hill we have a splendid views of Maresme Region. There is more than one route, although the most affordable is the one that begins in Cabrera de Mar’s center.
