In today's walk, which is the circular route going up into the Seguili mountain range, you get the chance to get to know and appreciate numerous patrimonial elements that give evidence of the ways humans used this territory, in modern times and even during the medieval period.
There are numerous water infrastructures developed by humans to be seen during this route, from rainwater storage cisterns to extraction wells in areas where there is some kind of natural flow. These were developed due to the fact that it is an elevated terrain, where it is difficult to get a good supply of water for agricultural use or for animals.

Some of the highlights of this route are the set of well-preserved cisterns that you come across during the walk and also curious hydraulic elements such as the one known as Badall del Saboner, which is a hole drilled in the rock, used for redirecting fallen rainwater and accumulating it for later use.

You can also observe throughout this route numerous terraces and dry stone wall constructions which were used for the manufacture of raisins, the main agricultural produce of the area until well into the 20th century.

In addition, during the lower part of the route, you can visit the abandoned settlement known as Seguili, with the remains of its constructions made of rammed earth and stone walls, probably from the 15th century and now uninhabited.
