An incredible panorama from the Tur\u00f2 de les Maleses<\/h1>\n

Discovering an ancient Iberian settlement<\/h2>\n

Do you want to admire a good part of Catalonia without getting on a balloon or a helicopter?<\/p>\n

Here is a really interesting excursion to stay amazed once you reach the Tur\u00f2 de le Maleses.<\/p>\n

To begin, as usual, a train takes me to the city of Bes\u00f2s. From here the Tugsal<\/strong><\/a> bus leaves me at the Can Ruti hospital. An impressive building at the foot of the Serralada de Marina<\/strong><\/a> park. I leave the hospital behind and enter the path called La Font de l’Amig\u00f2. The route goes into a vegetation of pines and shrubs, alternating with oaks now almost bare since we are in mid-December.<\/p>\n

Going up the torrent the humid air of the ditch alternates with the warmer radiance of the afternoon sun. The climb proceeds on a rough terrain. The path, despite the apparent calm, is well attended. Cyclists on mountain bikes and locals walk the path for a bike ride a bit challenging or for a walk with dog.<\/p>\n

The Iberian settlement<\/h3>\n

The top of the tur\u00f2 de les Maleses has an altitude of 420 a.s.l. and in less than an hour, if you do not stop every two minutes to take pictures, you get to a cross just before the summit. The left path would take me directly to the valley so I choose the right one to reach the summit after a few minutes. The walk end in front of a sign indicating the presence of the remains of an ancient Iberian settlement<\/strong><\/a>, the ancient population of Laietani. This denomination is used starting from the I century AD but their origin is much older. The Laietani were engaged in hunting, fishing and usually resided in high places to protect themselves from possible enemy attacks.<\/p>\n

Clearly at first sight there is not much to see except stones and small restored walls, which testify to the old houses. Starting from 1928 the settlement discovered at the tur\u00f2 de les Maleses has received several restoration works.<\/p>\n

A fantastic panorama<\/h3>\n

My gaze initially focuses on where to put my feet. But once the backpack in a comfortable place, my eyes widen in front of the whole Vall\u00e8s Oriental.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
