    The construction of the Montserrat Viewpoint is part of the Garraf: paths, heritage and nature regional project, and has been co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The work was launched in January and the needs of the residents of Daltmar have been taken into account when defining the project. Their participation and contributions have been taken into account in the design of this space that recovers the sector.

    The project has made it possible to completely transform an obsolete and degraded space, formerly used as a road system, into a space for enjoyment that is fully integrated into the Olèrdola Park. Due to its strategic location on the Pic de l'Àliga mountain range, one of the highest points in the territory, the new Montserrat Viewpoint is a great window onto the Olèrdola natural park and also onto the Montserrat mountains.
