Besides the town of Angl\u00e8s, the municipality comprises Sant Aman\u00e7 and several other neighbourhoods. The town features a magnificent Gothic quarter, with doorways, windows and inscriptions of great artistic interest and a number of manor houses.What is today the main square or Pla\u00e7a de la Vilawas once a castle parade ground. Angl\u00e8s owes its importance as a town to irrigation agriculture as well asto industry historically. The industrialisation developed in the second half of the nineteenth century by harnessingthe River Ter\u2019s water power left behind a rich heritage. This includes the steam engine at the Bur\u00e9s textile factory, which in the first quarter of the twentieth century already had 800 workers. In the town itself, on the land occupied by the Bur\u00e9s factory, excavations have revealed a Bronze Agenecropolis dating back to the seventh-sixth century BC.\r\n\r\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Local points of interest not included in the Secret<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>The parish church of Sant Miquel.

It is situated in the south of the municipality and has a pre-Romanesque floor plan, with a nave and a plain apse, and a porch to protect the archeddoor.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","descripcio":"The itinerary starts very close to the mouth of the Osor stream, almost at the confluence of the stream with the Ter, once it has left the Guilleries behind. The old part of Angl\u00e8s is on top of the hill. The town has a very rich historical heritage, complemented by the different natural resources provided by the waterways. Its river cultural heritage is one of the main tourist attractions. The Bur\u00e9s factory\u2019s steam engine is located very close to the route and is not to be missed if you wish tounderstand the industrial legacy and its connection with the waterways.\r\n\r\n<strong>1. The Osor stream\/Riera bridge or Tren bridge (over the Osor stream) <\/strong>\r\n\r\nOn the municipal boundary between Angl\u00e8s and La Cellera de Ter you will find the confluence of the River Ter and the Osor stream. The Osor stream is a tributary of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ter\">Ter<\/a>\u00a0on its righthand bank. Its hydrographic interest is due to the fact that it is the fastest-flowingwaterway to have its source in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ca.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Guilleries\">Guilleries<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThis place is a privileged spot to view the mouth of the Osor stream, where particularly in summer there is little water.\r\n\r\nText of the literary route (Route of the Ter) Lit018\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Riera bridge, separating the municipalities of Angl\u00e8s and La Cellera, or the Tren bridge for the former Olot railway line, which nowadays has been made into a walkway for walkers keen to stretch their legs or keep fit, are two good vantage points for catching a glimpse of the stream as it flows by placidly, almost shyly, towards the end of its journey.If you look the other way you can be a privileged observer of the confluence of the Osor stream with the Ter. When the stream reaches its mouth, it reverts to timidity, almost with a sigh after its incessant gushing descent. It leaves behind the narrow course through the valley and feels strange as it reaches open countryside, it yawns and opens up its banks and they become very wide when they carry a lot of water.Sometimes, however, particularly in summer, its presence in this last leg is like a brook or two trickles of water that barely manageto tickle the Ter when they meet.\u201d\r\n\r\nRoser Sidera i Riera\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.consorcidelter.cat\/el-territori-del-ter\/rutes\/ruta-literaria\/categoria-per-defecte\/roser-sidera-la-riera-d-osor-revista-de-girona-154-1992-pag-102\"><em>https:\/\/www.consorcidelter.cat\/el-territori-del-ter\/rutes\/ruta-literaria\/categoria-per-defecte\/roser-sidera-la-riera-d-osor-revista-de-girona-154-1992-pag-102<\/em><\/a>\r\n\r\n<strong>2. The Bur\u00e9s factory (the Bur\u00e9s factory steam engine)<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe industrialisation of Angl\u00e8s was brought about by the establishment and expansion of the Bur\u00e9s textile factory. The company\u2019s purpose was to produce cotton fabrics and threads. By the end of the nineteenth century the river\u2019s irregular flowgave rise to the decision to introduce a couple of steam engines to produce the power required by the industry.Later on, production was centralised with the construction of the steam building to house the steam engine that you can still see working today. The Bur\u00e9s steam engine is a well-conserved piece dating from 1900, which was made at Maquinista Terrestre i Mar\u00edtima in Barcelona, and is considered to be one of industrial architecture\u2019s gems.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. The Ind\u00fastries, or the Bur\u00e9s factory, channel<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe factories diverted the water from the River Ter along a channel built to feed the electric turbines installed in the factory enclosure. Initially, the channel carried water from the Pasteral weir to the factory, but the installation was almost entirely destroyed by floods in 1940. A new channel was then made, which went from the new Can Ribes power station to the Bur\u00e9s factory. It was built by civilian prisoners, is 1,500 m long and could carry up to 7 m<sup>3<\/sup>\/s.\r\n\r\n<strong>4. Angl\u00e8s ferry boat<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis part of the river receives the drainage water from the Bur\u00e9s channel and for a long time was the site of a ferry crossing which communicated Angl\u00e8s with Sant Juli\u00e0 del Llor. The Angl\u00e8s ferry boat operated until the construction of the new Sant Juli\u00e0 bridge in 1977 made it redundant. The building, on the Sant Juli\u00e0 del Llor side of the river, was converted into a restaurant some years later and is still a thriving business today.\r\n\r\n<strong>5. The Bonmat\u00ed\/Angl\u00e8s weir<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis curved-shaped weir made of stones and cement is situated at Roques Negres. The weir\u2019s function is to divert water from the Ter to Col\u00f2nia Bonmat\u00ed, taking advantage of a channel used in the Middle Ages to power the Llor watermill, which over the centuries turned into the driving force that powered the riverside factories and the hydroelectric power station.\r\n\r\n<strong>6. The Ter and its ponds (wetlands viewpoint\/pond) <\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Ter\u2019s wetlands are an important spot for the conservation of the biodiversity of both plant and animal wildlife species that need calm water habitats for shelter, feeding and breeding. Here you will find numerous species of amphibians, including tree frogs, natterjack toads, fire salamanders and marsh frogs, as well as many marshland birds like kingfishers, white-throated dippers, grey wagtails, mallards and grey herons, to mention just a few. Examples of flora include sedge, cattails, reeds and trees like alders, ashes and willows. By the ponds and stream-beds, on fair-weather nights, you can hear the tree frogs and marsh frogs singing to the accompaniment of nightingales, scops owlsand little owls in biodiversity\u2019s nocturnal concerts.","quil\u00f2metres":"2,3","ruta_accessible":false,"descripcio_accessibilitat":"","desnivell":"","dificultat":"minima","paviment":"Route Nature","altitud_minima":"133 mt","alitud_maxima":"149 mt","serveis":false,"ruta_descarregar":14390,"link_wikiloc":"","wikiloc":"","link_instamaps":"https:\/\/www.instamaps.cat\/visor.html?businessid=2a84b0c6763507a525425746a12c375e&3D=false","instamaps":"<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instamaps.cat\/visor.html?businessid=2a84b0c6763507a525425746a12c375e&3D=false&embed=1\" ><\/iframe><\/div>","imatges":[{"field_5a0ac809e9d6b":"9211","field_5aeab2f23b7bd":"Map of Angl\u00e8s","field_5a0ac87de9d6c":""},{"field_5a0ac809e9d6b":"15101","field_5aeab2f23b7bd":"Route under construction","field_5a0ac87de9d6c":""},{"field_5a0ac809e9d6b":"15303","field_5aeab2f23b7bd":"Route under construction","field_5a0ac87de9d6c":""},{"field_5a0ac809e9d6b":"15387","field_5aeab2f23b7bd":"","field_5a0ac87de9d6c":""},{"field_5a0ac809e9d6b":"15391","field_5aeab2f23b7bd":"Old station","field_5a0ac87de9d6c":""},{"field_5a0ac809e9d6b":"15395","field_5aeab2f23b7bd":"","field_5a0ac87de9d6c":""},{"field_5a0ac809e9d6b":"15399","field_5aeab2f23b7bd":"","field_5a0ac87de9d6c":""},{"field_5a0ac809e9d6b":"15403","field_5aeab2f23b7bd":"","field_5a0ac87de9d6c":""},{"field_5a0ac809e9d6b":"15408","field_5aeab2f23b7bd":"","field_5a0ac87de9d6c":""}],"mapa_ruta":"","alt_mapa_ruta":"","mapa_geografic":281,"alt_mapa_geografic":"","mapa_pobles_ruta":17154,"alt_mapa_pobles_ruta":"","mapa_desnivell_":"","alt_mapa_desnivell":"","com_arribar_hi_trens":[{"field_5a44f892b4a82":"RENFE","field_5a44f8aeb4a83":"Barcelona \u2013 Portbou (<strong>Girona Station<\/strong>) -NO train to Angl\u00e8s Olot-\r\nPl.
