Burriac hill, Mountain summit in Catalonia, Spain

Burriac is a hill rising to 392 metres between Mataró, Argentona and Cabrera de Mar. Its summit is a lookout over the central Catalan coast, from Montjuïc to the east to Montnegre to the west, with the Vallès depression and Montseny to the north. Near the top are the remains of an Iberian settlement, a Roman fort and the medieval castle of the same name.

People lived on this hill as far back as prehistoric times, leaving traces visible to archaeologists today. A fortress built in the early 11th century crowned the summit and protected the surrounding lands.

The hill is one of the Maresme region's emblematic landmarks, and the name Burriac is tied to the medieval castle whose ruins stand near the summit. Walkers on the SL-C 144 from Argentona or the SL-C 115 from Cabrera de Mar pass the remains of an Iberian settlement and a Roman fort before reaching the castle.

The hike begins at Font Picant park in the nearby town and features clear trail markers that make finding your way simple. The path works well for visitors of different fitness levels who want to explore on foot.

The summit holds the remains of an Iberian settlement, a Roman fort and the medieval castle of Burriac, all within a short distance of the top. The hill is also on the FEEC's list of the 100 cims, a catalogue of a hundred summits across Catalonia.
