Forests and natural surroundings at Tossal del Mollet
The character of Sant Joan de Moró includes extensive holm oak and cork oak forests. Tossal del Mollet is designated as a municipal natural area and recognized for its ecological, landscape and recreational values. The Iberian settlement on Tossal del Mollet is considered an archaeological complex. Anyone wishing to combine nature and history will find two themes here within the same natural area.
San Juan Bautista Church
The parish church of San Juan Bautista was built in 1887. Its notable architectural and artistic details include a spiral staircase leading to the choir and stained-glass windows depicting San Juan and San Miguel. These elements provide specific points of reference if you want to explore historic architecture not only through its exterior appearance, but also through individual interior details.
Mas de Flors and its traditions
Mas de Flors preserves a medieval character in its streets. Some houses date from the early 18th and 19th centuries. The chapel of Sant Antoni can be visited in Mas de Flors Square. Every year, the saint's feast is celebrated there with a bonfire, traditional rollos and the blessing of the animals. In this way, the townscape, older buildings and living festive tradition form a shared cultural context.
Paths to Font de la Figuera
The connections between the paths also make Sant Joan de Moró interesting for nature-oriented travel planning. The PR-CV 460 R2 El Mollet hiking trail begins at the Ermita de Sant Vicent in Sant Joan de Moró. Route R1–Mas de Flors leads to Font de la Figuera. There, the landscape displays typical features of a wetland with riverside vegetation; there is also a fig tree at Font de la Figuera that has grown between the rock and the basin. These specific destinations help you give different weight to cultural and nature interests when planning your day.
