The Dolmen de Pedra Gentil is a megalithic site that was restored in the 20th century to showcase its Neolithic construction.
The Sanctuary of El Corredor was built in the 16th century in a late-Gothic style atop a site previously occupied by a medieval chapel.
The park's name refers to the two main massifs, Montnegre and El Corredor, separated by the Tordera River basin valley.
Traditional cork extraction was once the primary economic activity of the region, leaving behind a specific landscape of managed cork oaks.
The park contains the ruins of numerous 'masies', traditional Catalan farmhouses, some of which date back several centuries.
It sits at the intersection of different climatic influences, allowing for the coexistence of diverse flora including orchids and rare ferns.
The park acts as a wildlife bridge between the sea and the inland mountain ranges of the Montseny.
Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor is a 15,000-hectare protected mountain range located in the Catalan Coastal Range between the Maresme and Vallès Oriental regions. The park is characterized by its transition from Mediterranean scrubland at lower altitudes to lush holm oak, cork oak, and pine forests at higher elevations. It is defined by its archaeological richness, featuring the Dolmen de Pedra Gentil and the Sanctuary of El Corredor. The terrain offers an extensive network of marked trails for hikers and mountain bikers, connecting various historical farmhouses known as masies. The geological composition is primarily granitic, resulting in unique rock formations and sandy soils. The park serves as a biodiversity corridor, housing species typical of both Mediterranean and Central European ecosystems. Visitors can access diverse viewpoints offering vistas of the Mediterranean Sea and the Montseny Massif. The territory is managed under the jurisdiction of the Diputació de Barcelona, which oversees its conservation and educational programs.
