From the Samont hill to the Vallserena stream, Sant Pere de Vilamajor connects with the Montseny massif, offering visitors countless routes for hiking enthusiasts.

Peaks, springs, farmhouses, valleys and streams add to an interesting architectural heritage in an environment where man connects with nature through the main economic activities: agriculture and livestock, which have given rise in recent years to rural tourism projects that reunite the essence of the village.

Vilamagore Medieval

The first weekend of November we celebrate Vilamagore Medieval.

A medieval festival recreates the era when our town boasted a count's palace that was the envy of neighboring villages, a mandatory stop between Barcelona and Girona on the road to France, complete with a market to supply its basic needs. Between June 1156 and April 1157, over one hundred people of diverse social standing stayed there: ambassadors, merchants, pilgrims, Saracens, Jews, knights... and most notably, Count Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona and his wife, Queen Petronilla. And it is very likely that their son, Alfonso I, King of Aragon, was born there, as we know that his wet nurse, Loreto, was from our town.

Come visit us the first weekend of November and you will be transported back in time, with medieval attractions for children, street music and theater parades, an expanded area of artisan and trade stalls, tasting piment wine (medieval Catalan wine) and, above all, because of our secret, our strength, the more than three hundred volunteers who will make this impossible journey through time possible.
