Montbaig, Mountain summit in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Spain
Montbaig is a 295-meter summit located between Sant Boi de Llobregat, Viladecans, and Sant Climent de Llobregat in the Baix Llobregat region. This peak can be reached via multiple hiking routes that depart from different locations in the surrounding municipalities.
In medieval times the mountain was called muntanya de Golbes, a name still borne by the Golbes spring on the ascent. Until the 1950s the slopes were farmland with vineyards and cherry trees; after their abandonment, white pine, holm oak and oak took over. The Sant Ramon chapel was built at the summit in 1887.
The summit appears in the FEEC's list of 100 cims under the name Sant Ramon, a catalogue of peaks published by the Catalan Hiking Federation. The name Golbes survives in the Font de Golbes, a spring on the path up, and the mountain was called muntanya de Golbes in medieval times.
Start your hike early in the day or late afternoon to avoid midday heat on the exposed slopes. Wear sturdy hiking boots and bring plenty of water, as the terrain is steep and rocky throughout.
On clear days the summit allows views as far as the Serra de Tramuntana on Mallorca. Two geodetic vertices stand at the top, references 285128001 and 285128017, and a pole once marked the municipal boundary just before the chapel.
