Visitors choosing Sant Feliu De Codines for a stay will find two particularly clear ways to explore the town: the landscape of the partially protected Cingles de Bertí and a cultural heritage that includes a civic bell tower dating back to 1796. There are also trails, a bird of prey centre and recurring events. This makes it easy to plan a stay around an interest in nature, local history or a specific event.

Rocky landscapes and trails

The partially protected Cingles de Bertí also extend into the municipality of Sant Feliu De Codines. Disused paths in the Cingles have been turned into hiking trails with viewpoints and impressive landscape views. The family-friendly Ruta de les Fonts 1 has specific route details: it is 3.7 km long and has an elevation gain of 70 m. Check trail conditions before setting out; they may change.

Those choosing trails based on specific distances can use these figures as a guide; for the trails in the Cingles, the emphasis is instead on viewpoints and landscape views. The two details therefore help answer different questions: How long and steep is a route, or which landscape feature interests you most?

La Balma d'en Xec connects natural history with a history of human use. A former waterfall eroded the Cingles de Bertí, forming the Balma; farmers and livestock once used it as a shelter. When it rains, water cascades down at La Balma d'en Xec. Cim d'Àligues adds another distinctive natural attraction: the environmental education centre specialises in birds of prey.

Local history, architecture and events

The Torre del Rellotge is a civic bell tower from the 18th century. It was built in 1796 after a torrent divided the settlement, and the sound of the religious bell tower could not be heard from one part of the town to the other. Its construction history thus connects a specific landmark with the settlement’s structure at the time.

The Ruta modernista leads to the town’s Modernist buildings. It adds another architectural thread to the story of the Torre del Rellotge. The Museu del Rellotge de Catalunya collection also includes mechanical pieces from the early 18th century.

The Museu municipal Can Xifreda opens on the first Sunday of every month; a free guided tour is offered at 11:30 a.m. Check the latest opening hours and tour information before visiting.

Recurring celebrations also provide a sense of timing: the Escudella de Carnestoltes takes place every year on February 21 in Plaça Josep Umbert i Ventura. The Festa Major de Sant Feliu de Codines falls on the third weekend of September. Its programme includes an afternoon Trobada de Gegants with the Colla de Gegants de Sant Feliu and other giant figure groups. February and September therefore mark different festival dates, while the museum offers a monthly opportunity to visit. If you are travelling for a particular event, check the latest event and museum information in advance.
