Can Cabruja |
We finally got everyone together to do the hike to Can Cabruja, to the earliest known origins of the family name dating from 1064. We started from the Santa Pellaia chapel in the Gavarres Mountains. Can Cabruja was an important masia (country house) in the Santa Pellaia parish. Though now in ruins, you can see it was built in a strategic position with views of the church and valley.
From the Santa Pellaia chapel, the house looks like it is very close, just down and up the valley. We could see the house from afar, but the path seemed to keep winding up and away.
We finally made it and had a good rest.
