Sanet Y Negrals between waterways and cultural heritage

In Sanet y Negrals, the Camí de l'Aigua connects 13 signposted stations explained on information panels; their common theme is water. The route has an easy level of difficulty, passes the Font de la Roda, a natural spring, and leads to the former millworks of Sanet i els Negrals.
