The village of Romanyà de la Selva has a watchtower which affords a vantage point over the valley, the scene of a number of novels by the writer Mercè Rodoreda (1908-1983), who lived out the final years of her life here. In addition, it has a beautiful pre-Romanesque church (10th century) and an impressive megalithic tomb (the dolmen of La Cova d’en Daina).
The hamlet of Solius has conserved a slender Benedictine monastery.
Here, at the heart of the Gavarres range, the Carrilet Route, a greenway over the tracks of an
old narrow-gauge train, is part of the cycling tourism network on the Costa Brava.
