Itinerary description
The village of Sant Vicenç de Castellet is the rural center of Vallhonesta, in this hike we visit the Romanesque hermitages of Sant Pere and Sant Jaume de Vallhonesta.
Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac Natural Park´s characteristic vegetation is the holm oak, which at 800 metres is enriched with species typical of moist areas such as the common whitebeam, box and oak –which form some very interesting forests– while at lower altitudes it blends with pines and Mediterranean shrubs such as heather and the strawberry tree. The base of the massif is covered with Aleppo pine woods, which are often replaced by Scots and black pine in the shadiest areas.
Because of the park's broad range of ecological environments, it is home to many species of animals typical of both the Mediterranean and Central European regions, and over two hundred species of vertebrates have been counted.
Some of the most representative are the salamander, the Montpellier snake, the jay, the blackbird, the robin, the wild boar, the common genet, the weasel and various species of birds of prey.
