Montseny, an enchanted forest

Popular beliefs talk about beautiful nymphs or dones d'aigua (water maidens) and follets (goblins) in this forest. There is a spring called Font de les Nàiades; some of these water maidens can transform into blackbirds. The follets use to open up barrels and finish off the wine reserves in the wine cellars of Montseny. But witches are also living here, as the names of some places show: La Torre de les Bruixes (the Tower of the Witches), El Pla de les Bruixes (The Plain of the Witches) or Can Bruix (The House of Witches).
