We leave Sant Celoni heading south, crossing the AP-7 motorway via an underpass to enter the Olzinelles valley. The road is narrow and quiet, surrounded by holm oaks and pines in a green and humid environment that preserves the essence of Montnegre. Before reaching the village, we turn right to begin the climb up a forest track that rises through the woods to Coll de Can Poliva (471 m). The atmosphere is totally Mediterranean: dusty tracks, the scent of pine and rosemary, and views that open up from time to time.
