Santuari del Corredor, Religious sanctuary in Dosrius, Spain.
Santuari del Corredor is a religious sanctuary located in Dosrius within the Natural Park of El Montnegre i el Corredor at approximately 634 meters elevation, displaying Flamboyant architectural elements. The site includes a restaurant serving Catalan cuisine and connects to multiple hiking trails departing from the front plaza area.
The sanctuary began as a chapel built around 1530 by Salvi Arenes, a farmer from the parish of Sant Andreu del Far, who also made the original image of Our Lady of Help. That image was replaced in 1815 and moved elsewhere in the sanctuary; in 1920 it was taken to the rectory of Llinars del Vallès, where it disappeared during a raid in July 1936. The present late-Gothic church was built at the end of the 16th century.
The name comes from the Corredor hills, and the sanctuary depends on the parish of Sant Andreu del Far. Its main gathering is the aplec on Easter Monday (Dilluns de Pasqua), a tradition shared by the Vallès Oriental and Maresme districts. Pilgrims sing goigs to the Virgin, beginning "Cantarem Verge lloada, vostres goigs amb gran amor".
The sanctuary stands just below the 633.5 m summit of the Serra del Corredor, reached by road from Dosrius inside the Montnegre i el Corredor Natural Park. The church is attached to a farmhouse and enclosed by a protecting wall, with the entrance on the side facade. A large isolated stone column stands in front of the building.
An information center on the grounds offers adapted equipment including handbikes for visitors with mobility limitations. This service allows more people to explore and enjoy the surrounding natural landscape and trail system.
